Food was sourced locally and tasted different, because it was different. Gardeners and farmers alike saved seed and shared it with friends and neighbors. There was a sense of community in even the biggest cities. People shared their strengths and everyone could profit together. The art of growing, building, and making things by hand is being lost. In the same hand, the sense of community is gettin
g devalued and even forgotten in neighborhoods today. With the rise of individualism and personalisation, we need to also remember that incorporating other’s strengths is often vital to a satisfying life. The Tiny Living Community crowdfunding projects are being created to bring community back into the big picture by focusing on producing organically grown food and educational experiences for the locals in our area. The first crowdfunding project will be to secure land in the Inner-West region of Sydney. The occupants would buy the house for the cost of the materials/ labour only and if the want to sell it later the house would be sold for the same price. It would cater for people or families that need to live in Sydney to work but can't afford the usual price tag. It would allow them the opportunity to save to eventually get a place of their own. There would be a communal garden for produce and as much solar/ wind power generators to keep the cost of living minimal. The crowd funding would be for the cost of land and initial set up costs.
