We are an egalitarian community that lives as ecologically as possible with and on the land. Legally we are an agricultural cooperative. Our beginnings go back to 1975, where some of us lived and worked together on a farm in Lower Bavaria, the Barhof, until 1982.
Living and working together in community has become a global movement. Deciding on community, on living and working with like-minded people meets a widespread need to get out of a fairly comfortable but somewhat lonely life in favor of sharing more parts of one’s life with others.
We at Piaggia call ourselves an Intentional Egalitarian Community. Our group is being held together by common values, community vision, and a mutual idea of what comprises a good life.
