By and about the Nubanusit Neighborhood and Farm
We did it last year. It was a lot of fun. So why not do it again?
Last night we had another wonderful cookout (complete with hot dog roasting, schmoozing around the fire, and eating s’mores), followed by a “campout” that consisted of pitching tents in our common and sleeping (sort of) under the stars. An [...]
A great mention in USA Today, but a “commune”? I don’t think so. While both communes and cohousing neighborhoods are an intentional community, a shared economy (possessions and income) is central to a commune but non-existent at a cohousing community like Nubi. Cohousing communities typically focus on the social aspects of living together.

Every time I head up to the White Mountains I am reminded at how convenient they are to our cohousing. An easy 2 hour drive and you feel like you are in Switzerland (and we actually met some Swiss too – they took this picture). I took my daughter and a friend up for a [...]
Since moving here a couple years ago, I’ve enjoyed seeing some wonderful wildlife on and around the property, but also been surprised by a few big misses — creatures that’ve been noticeably absent. Turtles have been high on that list for me. Even with our river and pond and wetlands, I had not seen a [...]
Nubi Neighborhood and New England Wood Pellets hosted the National Energy Technology Lab and the US Coast Guard on Thursday. They are touring renewable energy facilities in preparation for upgrading Coast Guard housing to renewable energy! Nubanusit Cohousing has what is believed to be the largest centralized residential heating system fueled by wood pellets so [...]
