Cardinal Ridge is a family based, sex-postive intentional community founded on the FEC principles of egalitarianism income-sharing, connection, harmony, sustainability through service, and ecological stewardship. We are committed to the co-creation of a small intentional community/family of between 5-8 people based on close knit connections and sharing of our lives and livelihood where harmony and
nonviolent communication are soundly integrated into all facets of our lives. We are focused on the big picture of working nationally to sustain our forests, watersheds, clean air and our environment for current and future generations through providing much needed logistical support services to the wildland fire and all-risk incident communities. We want to reduce our dependence on the mainstream culture. Through growing & raising a substantial portion of our own food, implementing rotational grazing, water conservation and reducing our carbon footprint we strive to become better ecological stewards. Between growing our own beef, chicken, meat goats, garden needs and bartering with the dairy behind us for milk, cheese, and butter, our goal is to grow, raise, or barter at least 75% of the food we consume. Cardinal ridge proudly supports several organizations including FIC (Fellowship of Intentional Community), FEC (Federation of Egalitarian Communities), The Transition, NCSF (National Coalition of Sexual Freedom) and Free The Nipple movement.
