I also want this. We're renting in UK countryside with big enough garden to grow vegetables and have a happy toddler running around but we're a very long way off being able to buy land and build what we want here. It feels like there must be so many of us wanting to live this life but barred from it by our petty planning laws. I'd love to find a loose but inclusive international community of people living life away from the bs without having to join a cult.

Hey, glad to see there's more people like that. Do you know of any communities where people share info on how to do it without signing up with a commune? (I am very happy for people who join them, it's just not for me and I don't want to pretend as that would be unfair to those good people.)

I hope that the current climate change legislation will have a happy side effect of easing the draconian zoning laws.

I looked around telegram for groups like this but the only ones I found were full of people with rather extreme views (5G mind control etc.).

I created a group. If you want to join and discuss ways you found to achieve a comfortable rural life:
