Lilyshire is a family-centered land cooperative that values sustainability, community, and connection to nature, and whose goal is to support one another in the living out of our individual vocations and especially in the raising of children. We aim to build a multi-generational village, where families own private property, a walkable distance apart, and contribute directly to the community through shared experience and work, such as small-scale farming and husbandry projects. We will also participate in the larger community around us and promote healthy social engagement alongside a more natural way of life. We are not attempting to pursue something extraordinary, but through modern technology, the best lessons and practices of past traditions, and a wholehearted living out of our Catholic faith, we are in pursuit of the ordinary and the real. Ultimately, we seek to raise a generation of saintly people who are connected to the natural world, grounded in community values, and committed to making a positive impact on the world around them.
