Port Townsend EcoVillage is a community of people dedicated to living in harmony with each other and with the earth,
exploring together ways to live more sustainably.

Our EcoVillage is specifically designed to allow us to live as efficiently as possible, with minimal use of non-renewable resources, responsible use of renewable resources and maximum recycling of waste. We strive to integrate the people and the land in a way that preserves the diversity, resilience and natural fertility of the earth. Permaculture principles are important to us in raising animals and growing much of our own organic produce. 

Our community has a shared understanding that all of life is interconnected, that many ecological systems are being threatened by human lifestyles, and that we must find better ways to live more simply and justly. 

We are committed to the use of a consensus-based process in decision making and the practice of NonViolent Communication (NVC). We respect diversity, including people with different abilities, beliefs and ages, and integrate everyone into the fabric of the community without discrimination.

We share our land in common ownership, including agricultural land and a small forest. We also share a common house, shops, greenhouses, tools and other facilities and resources. We frequently eat meals and celebrate life events together. We provide significant natural habitat for wildlife, revere nature and celebrate the seasons.

We are an open community and welcome visitors. We offer educational opportunities related to our vision of the future. We serve as a model for the potential of living more sustainably and welcome new and innovative ideas as we continue to evolve.
