CPF’s vision is:
A world that works for everyone created by people living and working together in thriving, cooperative, sustainable Communities based on the Highest Good of all life.
CPF’s mission is:
To educate and mobilize people to create a model large-scale cooperative Community demonstrating a happier, healthier, more fulfilling and abundant way of living that will inspire replication and lead to a world that works for everyone.
Imagine a more abundant lifestyle in Community
A cooperative Community enables people to see what is possible
Imagine living in a Community of loving, nurturing friends who live and work together in harmony with themselves, each other, and all life. Nature flourishes on hundreds of beautiful acres, and food is grown organically, using modern growing techniques and edible landscaping. This retreat-like setting provides easy access to walk the land and play and enjoy the outdoors. When residents are finished doing meaningful and fulfilling work, they still have an abundance of time to participate in the full array of growth, creative, and recreational opportunities. Organized sports, music, movies, good conversation, and other fun and relaxing activities are freely available, and the residents enjoy them with friends within walking distance.
Such a demonstration Community may not be a new idea. However, a Community of this scope, utilizing the latest technology and redefining how people live together, is something that may be an answer to the problems now facing the planet.
