About Us

At the Fallout Shelter Ecovillage (FOSE), we understand how many people find it can be difficult to live sustainably and responsibly within modern US culture. We believe that we can work to build a healthy alternative. As our village grows, we see this ideal take shape more clearly every day: a diverse range of people living ecologically sound lives in a community that truly serves as an example of positive human action within the natural world.

As you might expect, ecological sustainability is the primary focus of our long-term vision and our daily lives. Members, Residents and Guests agree to follow ecological covenants and sustainability guidelines.

Diversity is an important element within our human population as well. Our village is composed of individuals, families, and income-sharing communities. We look forward to having other sub-communities join us and we encourage the development of co-housing and cooperatives. To allow for economic diversity and simple living.

In addition to being a wonderful home for us, FOSE is a model for social change. Outreach and education are integral to our mission. Rather than isolating ourselves completely from the mainstream, we promote FOE as a viable alternative. We enjoy sharing discoveries and ideas of sustainable living with people who have a wide variety of lifestyles.
