Ziggy (Brian Liloia) contacted me a while back about an upcoming work exchange opportunity coming this summer at the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage set amid the hills and prairies of rural northeastern Missouri. Ziggy and a few others are building a 350 square foot cooperative kitchen and want your help.
The kitchen will be built with a roundwood timber frame structure and straw bale and cob walls. Those who get involved in this project will get some good first hand experience with several truly sustainable building techniques while being fully immersed in life at Dancing Rabbit.
Summary of What You’ll Get From Your Work Exchange:
- Food: All meals provided. You will be part of a largely vegetarian food co-op during your stay.
- Accommodations: Tenting platform space provided and shared facilities available for use (Common House, outdoor kitchen, showers, composting toilets)
- Fees: Payment of all residency fees
- Transportation: No coverage provided
- Education and skills: Hands-on experience constructing a timber frame building, and a whole lot more!

All very interesting, but WHERE is it?
Set amid the hills and prairies of rural northeastern Missouri. I’ll put it in the post, thanks for the input.
If you follow the link to their website you can find more detailed information, including location.
tried to follow the link on this but was told by my computer’s security, that it was a malicious website. Anybody know what the deal is?
No message on mine, just goes to the site with no problems. I’ve got Norton 360, updated as of this morning.
So I have to travel there on my dime, provide my labor for free, they keep the finished product and while I am there hippies will provide me beans and rice.
Prison sounds better.
Hmm…I’ll make the same offer, but I’ll provide beer and pizza.
That deal sounds at least slightly better.
Hey, if it’s not for you it’s not for you. It is a great opportunity with great fun for someone. If you can’t say something nice, why say anything at all.
