In the Spring of 2014, the Full Circle Family bought the land and farmhouse where we've been facilitating the Sharing Gardens since 2010. We moved into the farmhouse in early summer of 2014. (LINK to post about the farmhouse renovations.)
The land and farmhouse are owned by the Church/community itself. It was purchased in the name of Full Circle Family Church. The land and buildings and all their contents are shared among the community's full members. (LINK to Steps to Membership.)
As long as you are a member of the Full Circle Family, you will have access to all that is owned collectively -- as you have need. Private ownership can lead to hierarchies and class-inequality among members. This is one of the many reasons our community/church is founded on the principle of 'holding all things common".
The property cannot be sold for individual gain. If the community disbands, or ever has fewer than two members, provisions are made - in our By Laws - for the assets to be transferred to another organization formed "for similar purposes".
