Acorn Community Fa*m is an anarchist, egalitarian community in central Virginia founded in 1993.  We are committed to non-coercive, non-hierarchical, voluntary as*ociations both within our community as well as within the larger community in which we find ourselves. We are also committed to income-sharing, sustainable living, and creating a vibrant, eclectic culture. common our land, labor, resources, and income, and that we use this for the good of our community as a whole and our members as individuals.  While all members must be enthusiastic about a culture of radical sharing and working with one another, we do not share religious, political, or philosophical beliefs.  We use consensus decision-marking Acorn is non-hierarchical.  There are no bosses, owners, investors, managers or supervisors.  Although structured in areas such as membership, we intentionally keep policies to a minimum (we have a policy of very little policy) preferring a calm anarchy to prevail. Of the few policies that are in place, our culture encourages personal responsibility rather than supervision, as well as taking issues on a case-by-case basis keeping in mind that needs of individuals vary. Our community strives to create a stimulating social, political, feminist and intellectual environment.  Acorn strongly desires to support developing egalitarian and like-minded communities through participation in the Federation of Egalitarian Communities and growing network of fa*mers, gardeners and seed savers dedicated to organic, heritage agriculture and independence from the processed, genetically modified, corporately delivered “food” paradigm.
