The Community – Greening Life Inc. * Greening Life Mission Statement: Balance in life, stewardship of the land, emphasis on simplicity and cooperation with one another and growth in spirit. * This has been a very stable, self-governing community with members who have lived here anywhere from 2 to 44 years. * Greening is a non-profit corporation founded in 1973 to create a place where residents can share the joys and responsibilities of community living. * The farm is 135 acres with rolling hills, woodlands, pastures and hay fields. Much of the farm is in a conservation easement protecting the land from further development. We have developed roads, hiking trails, a playground, a swimming pool, a fenced vegetable garden, outdoor community spaces and animals. The farm buildings include a 100-year old bank barn. We have extensive farming equipment to support our upkeep of roads, buildings and green areas. * Membership - We strongly urge that all homeowners here become members. Membership is a commitment to subscribe to the bylaws and respect our values. Members share in the upkeep of the property to promote responsibility and cooperation within the community. We hold community campfires, sometimes share meals and have occasional get-togethers. This gives us the opportunity to engage as a community. * Governance - Greening is governed under its Bylaws and the decisions of the members.
