Building the living and working infrastructure is part of the Factor e Farm experiment. We want to discover insights on the feasibility of starting a DIY community. This includes infrastructure creation - as one of the tasks taken on by participants. Our replication model for future communities requires that we understand the insights of team work, ergonomics, and machine use - of what it takes to build a real community in a practical, easy, and replicable way. Work days are intended to be collaborative and synergistic. Typically, these are from 9AM-5PM unless otherwise noted.
