Core Values & Principles

Our community is founded on shared values of peaceful & joyful living, a love of the land, wise stewardship of the earth, and the good relationships with our neighbors in the immediate and surrounding communities. Our values guide our actions and decision in all aspects of community life.

VISION: Vermont in the Year 2050 today.
To build community and homes that will serve the needs of the present, but also reflect the needs of the environment and community in 2050. To create a community that delights in life, values communal living and diversity, and leaves a legacy of wise stewardship for future generations

Mission: To create an environmentally friendly community that is aesthetically beautifully and graciously integrated into the environment, and serves as a model for state of the art green building practice.

Stewardship: Our pond and forests on this 100 acre property will be cared for under a forest management plan and the care of members of the community. We seek to live lightly on the land and preserve this sacred land for future generations. We seek to always use environmentally friendly materials and products at Sweet Pond Eco-Community.

Community: We seek to live harmoniously with our neighbors in the immediate and surrounding community. We want to work together to create a caring, supportive, friendly, and most importantly FUN home. We aim to build a viable community based on the best historical practices of co-housing that embraces and values diversity. We value consensus decision making process.
