The first 300 applicants who contribute $2000.00 will become joint members of the Unity for Community – Cumberland Academy collective that will form the first fully active and inclusive self-sustaining community.
Pets will need to be well managed and people friendly or provided with a suitable pet friendly enclosure.
We envision trading farm produce for cured meats and voting as a collective on whether we choose to include farm animals on the property. The property has a lake and stream. We want to keep it clean.
Use of poisons such as pesticides and rodenticides would violate the respect for life ethos of the Rainbow tribe medicine woman mission, vision and values.

Edibile Forest Gardens
Forest gardening is an idea whose time has come.
We can consciously apply the principles of ecology to the design of home scale and large scale systems that mimic forest ecosystem structure and function.

We can consciously apply the principles of ecology to the design of home scale and large scale systems that mimic forest ecosystem structure and function.
"By mimicking Earth's various ecosystems (depending on what type of
garden we want to create), we can make significantly less work for the
gardener, while at the same time decreasing inputs, creating more
diverse, self-sufficient, resilient and beautiful landscapes, and
increasing yields."
Incorporating knowledge from the fields of permaculture, indigenous knowledge, agriculture, ecology, biology and other natural sciences into a holistic set of evolving tools and techniques, edible forest gardening is one of humanity's greatest hopes for a stable and prosperous future.

'Food Forests have been around for thousands of years in tropical and
sub-tropical climates. In fact, there is a Food Forest currently still
producing food in Morocco that was established 2,000 years ago! The
concept of food forestry was almost lost to the annals of history when
Robert Hart decided to adapt this design to his temperate climate in the
UK in the 1960’s. The idea of a Forest Garden was brought to the
public’s awareness when Robert wrote a book documenting his grand
experiment. Bill Mollison, the co-founder of Permaculture, visited
Robert’s site in 1990, and he quickly adopted this design element into
his teachings and work. Initially, when Robert Hart described the layers
of the Forest Garden, I believe he did so based on what he had and what
he studied. Since then, Robert Hart’s categorization of the layers of
the Forest Garden has stood unquestioned. Until now.
I am not actually arguing about the existing layers. My issue is that there are certain layers that have been ignored or overlooked. My goal is to resolve this discrepancy today. As you can see in my illustration above, I believe that there are 9 layers in a Forest Garden. The first 7 are identical to Robert Hart’s initial design. The missing layers are the Aquatic or Wetland Layer and the Mycelial or Fungus Layer.'
Here are my Nine Layers of the Edible Forest Garden:

Tesla and the “Rotating Magnetic Field”
In a November 1928 interview, Nikola Tesla said:
“rotating magnetic fields were dear to my heart. When I made the discovery of the rotating magnetic field, I was a very young man. The revelation came after years of concentrated thought and it was my first great thrill. It was not only a valuable discovery capable of extensive practical applications."
It was a REVELATION OF NEW FORCES AND NEW PHENOMENA unknown to science before.
“No”, Dr. Tesla said with some feelings, “I would not give my rotating field discovery for a thousand inventions, however valuable, designed merely as mechanical contraption to deceive the eye and ear!” Then saying: “A thousand years hence, the telephone and the motion picture camera may be obsolete, but the principle of the rotating magnetic field will remain a vital, living thing for all time to come.” - Nikola Tesla
