Episode 3: Tinkers Bubble
|
Support the video series- purchase Ecovillage Pioneers on DVD. Click here Tinkers Bubble is an eco community in Somerset, England. What's special about the way they live? Tinker's Bubble is a great example of a simple living community. In contrast to their upper-class neighbors with their huge houses and manicured gardens, the community uses just the resources they need. Formed in 1994 by a group of people with similar ideas of living off the land, there are now twelve adults and four children living under the trees on top of the hill. Owned by a cooperative the land consists 40 acres of woodland, pastures, and apple orchards. We learned of them by word of mouth, as they don't have their own website and they are not listed in the usual community directories.

Sister & brother in law tried that in So. OR. had a really ruff go at it. living out of small trailers selling roadside produce..
I've lived on a couple and I have to say, most around these days are what I'd called "failed" communes; ie' low rent housing estates for dole bludging stoners.
But in this video they show they've got a real economy, real work is done and as a result they've got a real community.
Tinkers Bubble is a beutifull example and I wish we all could live this way
Building permits, septic tank permits, paying rates, property taxes, income tax, then all the food-safety permits with preserves/juices...
This looks amazing but would be a nightmare for anyone not working a "regular" job to pay the required fees, certainly here in Canada.
Kind regards
