Freedom Family Ranch ( formerly known as Freedom County) is finally in full swing. We have the property, 500 acres of beautiful land with oaks, pines, persimmons, pecans and soon coffee and many other fruit trees which are being planted. The weather was not nice to us for the first 3 weeks as it rained every day and I mean really rained. The last Sat it rained at a rate of 2 inches per hour. The land was a mud hole making it impossible to do much work or even explore the land but that has turned around now and with a few days of sun and wind the place is looking like it should normally. Materials have been ordered and delivered, work has started on our main building and families have moved in. It is shaping up like we had prayed for and is progressing in quick time. We already have the Internet hookup via satalite, the electric meter is in place, the materials for the well are waiting for someone to put them to use. Our road is being built and is looking really good. In all we have accomplished quite a bit for a short time on the land.
Now we need to start populating our land with folks that can work together not in a commune type set up but in a Republic. Each family owns their own property, keeps their own income, is responsible for their lives. Everyone is responsible for the construction of their homes and the clearing of the property of their choice. The Ranch will provide a meeting hall/ kitchen with showers and bathroom facilities for the residents until they have their homes fully constructed. The Ranch will provide a rocked road from the gate to the meeting rooms plus RV spaces for those that want to visit and look around before purchasing a lot. There is a picnic area where tents are welcome.
We need people with skills such as running our goat herd, managing cattle, growing a garden ( large one of at least 35 acres) people to teach food preservation and dehydrating. We need people with the desire to learn and work together to produce the best foods and supplies for all of us to share. The public gardens will supply most of our food needs. Everyone is required to work a few hours a week on the public areas of the property in order to share in the products. We need people who know how to market items for sale which are produced on the property to add income to the Ranch. These are all areas which need to be filled. We need to designate a governing board to referee ideas and problems which will arise. This board will be voted into office by all the residents. If someone comes here and starts making real problems for the ranch they will be dealt with fairly and quickly. In the end if the problem persists the residents will be required to vote whether to remove them from the property or allow them to stay. This vote will be final. Another serious need is a Social Organizer to put together cook outs where the towns people are invited out to learn about us and to dispell any rumors which could possibly start as in any small town where there are unknown people moving in. There has been the mention of a drive in theater for the summers for the community which would bring in money as well as provide entertainment for the entire community as well as educate them to some of the problems we are all facing now. There are many feature length films on DVD that are available and would help everyone become more aware of what the possibilities are for the future. The whole idea is to have a safety haven for families who wish to be self sufficient and provide a place of group support for each other in defense of their property, family and their beliefs. if or when Civil uprisings, mandatory vaccinations or Martial Law should be implemented. Religion is not a factor in residency. We support no Religion as everyone is free to proctice their own beliefs in their own homes. There will be no churches etc on the property, families that wish to worship in a formal structure can find Churches in towns nearby. All Religions are welcome, none are being favored or preached. This is not a religious based community. The community will offer people a chance to raise their own food, produce their own energy and raise their children without the governments involvement. The pastures will offer free grazing for cattle, a seperate area for our Lamancia Goat herd and a area closer to the main barn for Chickens, ducks and geese for both meat and eggs. Residents can have their own cows, goats etc but must have them tagged and are responsible for their care, feeding, milking and butchering. The community will have their herd which is cared for by the residents and shared by all. Again everyone will be expected to help with the labor. This is a working community. if you don't work you don't eat. If you choose not to join in the work which will be necessary for the operation of the community don't plan on sharing the profits or products. There is no pressure to work but be ready to support yourself totally without the sharing of what others have been working for. We realize some will be able to do more than others due to health, age and knowledge but every one can find a way of being useful whether it is working in the library, teaching, cleaning, maintenance or any of the activities that will be need to be taken care of daily. Dr. Pruitt ( Ron Paul's medical partner for years) is one of the sponsors of this community and will be building a clinic for the community, Nannette Carley will have a health spa with a herbal store, all will be working together to provide the best medical care possible for the residents. Rebecca Carley was supposed to be moving to Freedom but due to a misunderstanding of her needs and concerns of why she has lost her license to practice medicine, in everyones best interest her name was removed from the residents listing at her request. There will be a library ( bring all of your books with you for this) along with small shops residents open to sell their products.. Barter will be encouraged but we will have what we are calling Barter Bucks which will be used as a monetary system. Each barter buck will be backed with silver. In other words you deposit a certain amount of silver and are given the correct amount of Barter bucks. When you wish to cash in your bucks the amount of silver the bucks represent will be returned to you. A treasurer will be appointed by the community for this position. We have tried to forsee all possible problems and have satisfied ourselves that this is a valuable project which can be copied all over the country and become a model for others to find security in numbers as well as live without being fed the garbage that is sold today as food and water. Non GMO foods all grown organicly and fresh clean water without chemicals will be our first priority. We feel we are far enough away from the concentrated areas to be fairly safe from the people who may be roaming around looking for supplies in case the economy collapses plus there are enough of us to protect our families from such hordes of theives and scroundrels. The campsites are 50 x 75 feet, a large campsite suitable for a RV, Motor Home, Tent or small cabin. The property is yours you can do what ever you like on it as long as you are not endangering neighbors or infringing on their rights. you can lease 2 or more and have them adjoining if you wish. The 1 acre homesites are exactly one acre where you can do what you wish on them, build your homes, put a Mobile home on there what ever kind of construction you desire. There are no restrictions on what you do with your property. When we open the gates people will be able to walk around or drive and pick out their sites. Sites will not be back to back like a trailer park, such close accomodations only bring on problems. There are 500 acres to choose from and only 100 more sites will be leased out giving everyone lots of space. . Simply stake out your site, it will be marked off with yellow tape so others will know exactly where it is and can choose a site a good distance from it giving everyone breathing room. When the 100 sites are all gone this will be taken down and no further residents will be accepted. We are not out to make money but to build a community of like minded people who believe in freedom, the constitution and the right to live and raise their family as they feel is best. The 100 sites will finish completely paying for this property so there will be no mortgage on the land. The deed will be in the form of a land trust to protect everyone from losing their property for 99 years at which time the deeds will be transferred to the remaining heirs to the property. All taxes will be paid by the Freedom Is Not Dead organization. They will be minimul as it is zoned agricultural and we will be applying for the Land Grant which we can use to obtain a Alluvial title which will eliminate any taxation by the state county or federal government. We need your help in finding more like minded residents. Along the side bar there are links you can copy and print, send as links etc to everyone you know who would make a good neighbor. Please be selective. You can also pay for your site by bringing in more residents, see the link for earning your site. (THIS PROMOTION ENDS IN DECEMBER) Please be storing up supplies which will be needed. Everyone needs to be able to feed themselves and their families for at least 6 months, more if you are able so others will not have to dip into their supplies to cover others needs. While we are firm believers in helping our neighbors the neighbors need to help themselves.
