We are organized as a grass-roots non-profit organization initiating programs that contribute to the general quality of community life through Main Street revitalization, improved affordable housing, small business development, and through community arts.

Emphasis is placed on creating a hands-on experience of across the age's collaboration in the spirit of the rural barn raising tradition where each member of a given community or working group contributes to the quality of life according to their skill level and age appropriate contribution.
