Plowshare Farm Lifesharing Community


  • About Us

    Plowshare Farm is an attempt to be responsive to the social, human, spiritual and ecological challenges of our times. At Plowshare, people with a wide range of capabilities – including people with special needs – live and work side by side to build an inclusive and sustainable community. As an Anthroposophically-based lifesharing community, we are innovators creating a model of social and ecological renewal.

    If you’re someone with a pioneer spirit, there is room here to make a real contribution to building a sustainable community. At the same time, joining the Plowshare Farm community takes people on a journey of inner transformation: as you support others to unfold to their fullest potential, you will find yourself doing the same.

    At Plowshare, we live in extended family households that include people with developmental challenges, yearlong service volunteers, coworkers, and often children. People who demonstrate qualities of leadership and presence take responsibility for a household and also carry a craft (such as farming, gardening, handcrafts, pottery, baking, etc). We invite inquiries from people who have the experience to step directly into these responsibilities, and also from younger people who hope to grow into them.

    Plowshare Farm is nestled in the woods of southern New Hampshire where there are thriving Waldorf Schools, adult education opportunities, an active Anthroposophical Society, and a beautiful natural environment. We are an hour and a half northwest of Boston.
