Connect to the history of Homestead Heritage, which started at the Lower East Side Manhattan in New York in 1973.
We are a community, not a commune. As such, we do not have a common purse - each individual and family is responsible for their own financial wellbeing.
We also believe in the integrity of the family. So each family manages their own homestead, either on privately owned land or on a rented portion of our community property.
We do feel, however, the ethical responsibility to “love our neighbors as ourselves,” and we are mutually committed to seeking the common good by voluntarily sharing with any among us who are in need of practical, financial or spiritual help.
Punpun is a small organic farm and learning center in
north of Thailand, where we practice sustainable living through seed saving, natural building and appropriate technology.
And all started with one man, Jon
Jandai and his vision of "Life is easy. Why do we make it so hard?"

Seit ich meinen Film "Ein
Neues Wir" im Jahre 2010 veröffentlicht habe ist viel passiert.
Ich hatte die Gelegenheit rund um die Welt zu reisen, um viele weitere ökologisch orientierte
Gemeinschaften, Siedlungen und Dörfer zu besuchen. Der Plan war:
Das "ideale Ökodorf" zu finden!
Auf dieser Suche nach dem idealen Ökodorf für mich und viele Menschen bin ich mittlerweile fündig geworden. Ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen. Ich habe meine Antwort gefunden! Bitte tief
Luft holen und ruhig atmen.
Nach vielen Jahren des Erforschens und Erfahrens kann ich gesichert sagen:
Die für mich ideale Art des Ökodorfs bzw. einer Ökosiedlung ist ein Familienlandsitzdorf bzw. eine
Familienlandsitzsiedlung!
Was ist eine Familienlandsitzsiedlung?
"Eine Familienlandsitzsiedlung ist eine Siedlung, in der überwiegend Familien auf ihrem jeweils eigenen 1 ha großen Land in wohlgesinnter Nachbarschaft leben und ihren Lebensraum
schrittweise und individuell vervollkommnen."
