Today, we gather with Bill Hartzell and Devon Keller, from Hundredfold Farm CoHousing Community in the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, US.
Bill Hartzell's initial venture into intentional community occurred when he became a resident of the Xanadu cooperative house at the University of Michigan in the late 1970s. 20 years later he and his partner Sandy joined the cohousing movement which was gaining popularity in Seattle, Washington, western USA. Taking their gained experience to the east coast ,to be with their aging parents, Bill and Sandy set out to create a cohousing community in rural Pennsylvania, where collaboration, land preservation, and sustainable practices were fundamental principles.
The result of their efforts is the Hundredfold Farm Community. Today, we are joined by Bill and one of Hunderdfold’s newer community members, Devon Kehler. Devon has been drawn into various expressions of communitarianism from a young age. The principle of interdependence is what keeps Devon steadfast in their commitment to communal living. At Hundredfold Farm, Devon is nurturing their skills and creative practices in facilitation, collaborative leadership, and gardening. How Devon shows up in community is deeply shaped by feminist mentoring, the power of queer kinship and a 20 year partnership with their beloved, Anna.
Together, Bill and Devon offer insight to how old memories and new memories can come together to build resilience and community.
