I am curious as to whether you are up and running already and how many folks are living there. I am from Tallahassee, Florida and am interested in the ecovillage both from the standpoint of a graduate student in geography who is studying sustainable rural livelihoods and as an individual who is helping an ecovillage here get off the ground.
