“Beatnik Bell Phone List.”

The phone book lists about 200 people and at the back gives names and numbers representing functions central to The Farm, suggesting a sophisiticated operation. Today, the same number of people live at the commune.

    


THE FARM
"Founded in 1971 at Summertown, Tennessee, with a spiritual commitment to simple living and self-reliance, The Farm has pioneered a wide range of social and physical technologies appropriate to low-cost, high satisfaction community living. The community offers examples of solar building design, permaculture, micro-enterprise, mushroom cultivation, large scale composting and gardening, and regenerative hardwood forest management." —From The Farm’s Web Site
