I spent time in an ecovillage in western North Carolina almost 20 years ago. Question: Who does the agricultural labor here? I watched the first 15 minutes of the video, and was very curious about this. The ecovillage I lived in was primarily younger people who did their own labor. A lot of it was backbreaking. We did our own construction as well. And YES, people got kicked out if they didn't work hard enough, and that happened several times. When I see an creepy old boomer hippy lady who sounds like a cult-leader, who doesn't look like she's capable of doing any kind of manual labor, I question if they are paying people to come in and handle the agriculture for them. These people all look like they are swimming in money. The ecovillage I lived in was not like that at all. We all ended up looking like a bunch of farmers and construction workers, because that's basically what you HAD to do to make it work. I'm sure I'm tying up the wrong things in the concept of an ecovillage. The one I lived in was probably a lot more off-the-grid than this one was intended to be.
