Living Sustainably ... Together.

Heathcote is an intentional community located 30 miles north of Baltimore, MD and 20 miles south of York, PA. It is nestled in a narrow wooded stream valley on a 44 acre community land trust plus a 68 acre plot of woods that's owned by some of our members. We are a community of friends and family who choose to live cooperatively and consciously create a better way of life. We strive to care for one another and for the natural systems that nurture us. Our diet is organic and vegetarian. We have several organic vegetable, herb, and flower gardens; hiking trails; and stream-side hammocks. Heathcote is a drug-free and smoke-free community.

Welcome to the Heathcote "online community". Here you can find out about what's happening at Heathcote, comment on news and events, participate in discussions, and more. It's all right here on the website. Please register on the site to become a part of it and receive event emails. If you've been to Heathcote, tell us about your experience. Did you attend a permaculture workshop? Maybe a House concert or Dance Free? You can post comments on the page for that event. Got a question about community life or spirituality? Post it in the discussion forums. If you have any questions about the site or suggestions, please email Paul at info@heathcote.org

June 2010

The community continues to be pretty full.  We've got several new members finishing up their provisional membership, plus there are currently 6 interns here!  Three of them, Kwame, Patty, and Matt, have been here for quite some time, and the other three, Kat, Eric, and Tori just got here at the beginning of June and will be here for 1 to 2 months.  But it's great to have such energy and enthusiasm in the community!  We've been having weekly intern nights where we get together in the evening and hang out and socialize with the interns.  We've had a bonfire, game night, drumming, and almost had a hot-tub party so far.
