In our Gaian Co-op Villages, there are no employees.

Every member is an equal owner, sharing both the responsibilities and benefits of the community. Our businesses provide a variety of opportunities.

There are two ways to join our coop.

Villagers - individuals who manage a village-owned shop or project

Tradesmen - individuals who own and manage a shop or project.

To become a Villager or Tradesman, you must agree to

• Participate in monthly meetings for at least 3 hours to assist with community projects for LOL (labor of love).

• Ensure shops are open every weekend.

• Organize and host workshops periodically.

• Accept an apprentice if available.

Artisans receive up to 2/3 of shop proceeds when they assist us in producing high-quality sustainable-free products. Raw materials will be sourced from our EcoJunk or our forest farm.

Village hours for the public are as follows:-

Fridays by appointment only, from 12 noon till sunset

Saturdays

Mornings - Earth-Gardens and critters meetup,

Afternoons - Water-Village meetup

Sundays:

Morning - Gaian Living Fellowship,

Afternoons - EcoJunk meetup

Some of our Villages are Multi-use Zoned and can accommodate residential/tradeshop lots. Members have the opportunity to live on-site. You must be 18 years of age or older.
