a. To acquire and share rural land for the purpose of low-cost residential housing.
b.  To provide a setting where rural settlement in hamlets and village clusters can evolve.
c. To preserve and protect flora and fauna on land acquired.
d. To promote the development of a community of artists, musicians, artisans, and craftspeople.
e. To promote the principles and methods of permaculture and self-sufficiency.
