Fox / Cadno Fox Housing Co-operative is a community who's focus is the practical and effective application of its values. These are largely pagan/Buddhist and include environmentally sound practices, simplicity, co-operation, honesty, democracy, equality, generosity, compassion, respect, emotional openness and self- responsibility.
How we hope to make these manifest is complex... living simply and lightly translates into everyday politics such as putting a carbon debt of £1 [for trees] on all cars visiting the site, not owning polluting vehicles and making our own entertainment [no TV]. All members have some form of regular spiritual /meditative practice in which they engage and are committed to spending a weekend every month to 'check-in' with other co-op folk. Accepting and admitting that we sometimes fall short of our values is an important aspect of our co-operative.
We live on a 70 acre former dairy farm in Carmarthenshire called Werndolau. We wish to provide space for co-op members to follow their vocations whilst sharing the peaceful space we want to create with as many of the world-weary as we can realistically accommodate! Good design and clear structure is crucial and we are working backwards on this from the ultimate outcome of a large eco-community set in broadleaf woodland in two hundred years time! In the mean time we are hoping to establish a commercial agro-forestry project, cheap low-impact retreat spaces and bunk house/venue accommodation, camping, biomass production and a celebration and burial site as well as lots of home grown organic fruit and vegetables! Members also run from the farm Organics to Go, Wales' largest organic box scheme, providing almost 600 deliveries every week.
We've got a lot to do, a lot to learn and we're going to make mistakes! We have space for short term volunteers on a minimum six month agreement to live and work part-time with us, if this appeals to you, drop us a line. Other visitors are welcome but all visits must be arranged with us first.
