What we do

Harmony Woods is a forming homesteading community 25 mins SW of Chattanooga, Tennessee in Bryant, AL based on personal freedom, land stewardship, simple living, personal integrity and communication. We currently have 13 acres of rural land. Why southeast Tennessee?
1. Natural beauty. There are mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls in abundance.
2. Outdoor activities. Hiking, biking, kayaking (white water), boating, hang gliding, etc.
3. Moderate climate. I prefer to live in a climate I don’t want to escape from at certain times of the year. Moderate climate = long growing season.
4. Abundant rainfall. This makes it easy to supply our needs with just water catchment. It also obviously reduces the need for crop irrigation.
5. Good soil for farming.
6. Low cost of living.
7. More freedom. SE Tennessee has less restrictive building and zoning restrictions in certain counties.
Our goals are to grow as much of our own food as possible and use as many local and free resources as possible to live lightly on the earth.
We are looking for open-minded, non-dogmatic, non-judgmental souls who share our values and are committed to the difficult work of transitioning to a life of authentic community.
Each person/household will own their own lot and the rest of the land will be owned collectively for things like gardens, animals, community house, etc.
Since we believe strongly in personal freedom, there will be very few rules. Instead, we will screen members thoroughly to make sure they are in alignment with our core values.
