Riverside Community

Riverside Community is promoting peace through cooperative and sustainable living. The community had its beginnings in 1941 when a group of Christian Pacifists agreed to adopt a way of life based on co-operation. One of the group contributed 30 acres of farmland and orchard, and some of them moved there to live.
