PLEASE HELP !!!! We are in desperate and dire need of $30,000 (before March 1st, 2015). This is the payoff/balloon payment amount for our land contract here on Faerie Hill Farm. We are located in the green clad limestone hills of southern Indiana. Even though my wife and I have excellent credit and the ability to pay (on time) our loan requests have been repeatedly turned down (for 2 years) by banks and credit unions. Why? Because we have an off-grid solar and wind powered, water and waste recycling, food producing passive solar home, quite different than standard non-sustainable manufactured houses, the kind that banks want to back because they can repossess them and sell them to other unwary parties. We call our home the Faerie Hill “ecoark”. We built it over 10 years with our hands and with the help of a few friends, a true labor of love. It is an experimental test-bed for cutting edge eco-technology, the kind which we will all need in the years ahead. Not only did we build it to house ourselves, it was constructed to find out what works and what doesn’t so that we can educate others. We must raise $30,000 balloon payment before March 1st, 2015. If we don’t, we will have to vacate this educational center. Thousands of small trees we are nurturing will be bush hogged, animal habitat (raccoon, opossum, deer, frogs, toads, monarch butterflies, wild bees, etc.) will disappear and the property will be turned into yet another large mowed lot in a subdivision. If you can donate a few dollars and/or help spread this plea widely, together (as a larger supportive community) we may be able to save Faerie Hill Farm. Besides the “ecoark” we have a large organic garden area, four acres of protected woodlands, a 40’x20’ creative arts studio, outdoor stage, camping circles for up to 144 people (small gatherings), and 10 acres of land we are reforesting. We apply permaculture principles in our stewardship of this sacred site. We do hands-on research and share the results freely so that others may learn how to live on Mother Earth. If we cannot raise this balloon payment money Before March 1st, 2015 we risk losing everything we built and worked for here for the last 10+ years. Thus, upon the suggestion of countless friends, we are here asking for your participation and support. For every donation of $25 we will send you a copy of the Faerie Hill Guidebook. For every donation of $50 we will send you the FH Guidebook and a copy of the Heretic’s Blend (double) CD put out by our resident musical wizard: Jade Dragon. For every donation of $75 (or more) you will receive both the Guidebook and the CD plus a membership (see below): Faerie Hill Farm MEMBERSHIPS 1 year: $75 5 years: $300 10 years: $500 lifetime: $1000 MEMBER BENEFITS: 1) may participate in all community projects 2) may attend all Faerie Hill events at no extra charge 3) may camp during events at no extra charge 4) may use community facilities during events 5) may sell/exchange arts & crafts at events 6) may bring your children (17 & under) to events (no charge) 7) may apply for ecovillage residency on Faerie Hill Farm EVENTS 2015: Fungi, Flowers, and Fields weekend - May 16-17, 2015 Acoustic Harmony Music Camp - June 20-21, 2015 Sustainable Solutions Weekend - July 11-12, 2015 Poly Flow Camp - August 1-2, 2015 Practical Metaphysics Weekend - September 5-6, 2015 We are located in the green clad hills of southern Indiana, just outside of Bedford.
