A few photos of Cravirola Cooperative and an update

These are a few photos from my home at Cravirola Cooperative during the summertime.
I recently got an update from the group of lovely individuals at Cravirola and even though it is winter there , they are busy busy busy. They are undertaking a variety of projects to improve their facilities for next winter. New electrical lines, a new line for water for fire safety, improvements to the campground, new sanitation facilities on the campground, and of course all the other projects that are ongoing there! There are always animals to milk, animals to slaughter, animals to be fed, cheese to be made, wood to be cut, paper work to be completed, gardens to be prepared and merry making to be done!
They have a call out to any supportive individuals who might like to donate or potentially loan money to support all of these costly upgrades to their wonderful little utopia in the south of France. Visit www.cravirola.com for more information about their projects and the life at this cooperative.
