We are actively seeking new members to work and play with us in our small, laid-back community in central Virginia.

There are about 16 adults and 4 children that live here at the moment, with ages ranging from 10 months to 50 something. We are an egalitarian, consensus and income-sharing community. Our recreation sometimes consists of folksinging, jam sessions, hot tubs, campfires, playing board and card games, and going to the nearby college town for outings. Our income comes from our businesses on the farm.

We are very excited about our mail-order seed business, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. We specialize in heirloom varieties to conserve and distribute rare and endangered varieties of vegetables and encourage seed saving by offering open-pollinated varieties. We grow much of this seed on our 72 acres of beautiful, certified organic land, which borders on the South Anna River. We offer over 500 varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

We also make some income from our tinnery where we make recycled functional craft-art from tin cans. Contact us to schedule a visit. To reach us send email to acorncommunity@gmail.com with subject "visitor", or write or call us at the contact information on the left.
