Mission: Cause the formation of a distributed micro-farm co-op having between
10 - 30 micro-farms located in various places in Clarke County, Virginia. Each micro-farm will be privately owned
(owned by a Clarke County citizen not by a non-resident Corporation) and
operated by the owner. The individual
micro-farms may have more than one product, but in most cases the products will
be an application of sustainable and environmentally beneficial biomass
conversion technologies
This system of micro farms will be organized around the county governance so as to reflect long held local cultural values.
Other County-based Rural Safe Nets will come into being using a type of franchise template. The franchise will provide consistency and recognizable branding language, such as Trademarks.
The Virtual Art Museum is one parallel system where economic benefits can be derived. The Virtual Museum will allow the display of painting in rooms within the MUD.
Other uses will be educational.
