Introduction

Factor e Farm is a a community-in-the-making. It is not just any community. The intent is a Post-Scarcity, Autonomous, Modern, Open Source, Distributive Enterprise, Learning, Contract Community. It is an experimental community with a population limit of 30 people - on 30 acres - engaging in demonstrating the limits to creating a modern economy based on local, on-site resources. Our aim is to create a modern standard of living, up to production of semiconductors and metals, on the small scale of a farm - while requiring 2 hours of labor per day to provide all trappings of modern civilization. The basic governance is meritocracy: role-based authority, where individuals are - by merit - entrusted with stewardship over various parts of the community.

The community consists of a college-like Campus:
