Tracy, like you I wouldn't want to cook every day.
>From everything I read about cohousing each family or person has their own
home and they have community meals once or twice a week.
I suspect they might be a bit more successful than an actual commune.
I read about a cohousing farm in Vermont; I think it was called Cob Hill.
They have a big working farm. I think the members have to work so many
hours a week at the farm. They are actually selling their produce, cheeses
and maple syrup.
I don't want to live anywhere that cold. I will go to New Zealand before
one of our artic states. Lol

We could take turns cooking. I don't mind cooking, but I don't want to do
it every day. Though I think some of us are vegetarians, and some eat meat.

Zac you don't want to manage our dairy?
You have a lot more knowledge than me. However I prefer milking and caring
for the girls over dish washing.
We can put you in charge of kitchen clean up.
I wonder who is the best cook here.

Actually I wouldn't mind trying my hand at washing dishes.
