The Recycled Log Cabin

Reader Contribution by Douglas Stevenson

I live in a what I call a recycled log cabin. Half of the logs came from an 1800’s log cabin from around the Nashville area.

My home is located on The Farm Community, one of the oldest, largest and most successful intentional communities/ecovillages in the world.

Much of the cabin’s  initial construction took place in the 1970’s, when the community’s members lived under a communal economy. The Farm’s economic structure changed in the early 1980’s, a shift which made each family financially responsible for any future improvements and maintenance of their home. My family took possession of the cabin in 1985.
