We are seeking interns for our research and development center to help develop open source self-sufficiency technology. This includes designing and implementing "permanent agriculture," agricultural machines, construction, and metalworking. We don't just make diagrams or theory, we make machines that help people achieve their dreams.

- DIY Agricultural tools and implements - tractor, spader, tiller, grain combine, hammer mill, hay baler
- Low cost off grid energy systems - heat, hot water, lighting,
- Low cost water systems - water wells, catchment systems
- Metal work - melting, casting, cutting, forming, computer controlled manufacturing, whatever you desire
These are elements of the Global Village Construction Set - everything needed to create advanced civilization on a small scale.
What we offer:
A place where you can put philosophy of sustainability into action. We are a physical experiment in building a post industrial global village - a space for all people to learn and grow.
About our place:
- We have 30 acres in rural Missouri.
- We are off grid with solar panels to charge a forklift battery
- DSL internet
- 300 tree fruit, nut, and berry orchard
