The Dev-Cor Farmer-Consumer Co-op
(Page 3 of 3)
July/August 1970
by ROGER WILKES
If you are thinking of moving into the country and establishing your own community, Devcor - through this program - will be able to help you obtain cash income for your support and give you advice on the planning and growth of your community. Included in Devcor's plans are the establishment of rural communities which will have both an agricultural and an industrial base. We hope to create markets for many industrial products which can be produced by small rural communities when they have an assured market for their product.
RELATED CONTENT
Any land purchased for a homestead community through the assistance of Devcor will be held in trust and will not be resold, although individuals who have built their own houses and made other capital improvements will, naturally, be free to sell them.
The organizers of Devcor do not want to become controllers of vast enterprises. Each local group will be locally controlled; indeed we would not even want to see a buyers group operate more than one store or distribution point.
Our objective is the creation of an. alternative economy in which each individual is able to control the actions of those who supply him with his needs. This is in contrast to the present situation in which we are all at the mercy of large scale enterprises which treat us merely as consumers or suppliers without any consideration of our unique individuality.
If you would like to know more about Devcor and its plans or would like to participate in some way, write to Devcor, c/o Rt. 1 Box 129, Freeland, Md. 21053.
We are very interested in hearing from people who have products that they would like handled and from those who would like to organize buyers clubs and homestead communities. Naturally money is always needed and Devcor welcomes contact from those who are interested in making loans or subscribing to the capital funds of the co-operatives which are being formed.
