Pumpkin Hollow Community . . . . . . bolo bonobo
Please check back for resident profiles, visitor testimonies, & more
We use latrines with wood chips, following composting procedures with these. The
only building with running water is the community house, with a kitchen, a bathtub,
and propane for water-heating and cooking. The electricity is currently only in the
community house and the lower barn. Wood heat is the norm for winter time; our
chainsaw comes in handy for this, and a neighbor on down the holler’ does some
cutting and splitting in exchange for half of the wood he chops. The Internet is
available in the main building along with a community phone.
Middle Tennessee climate is humid with some very hot weeks in the summer and some
very cold weeks during winter. The rest of the time it's still humid, often rainy, always
lovely. Most suppers are our dinner and are eaten together—the residents taking turns
cooking the meals. We share expenses and work, yet do not fill up each-others’ days
with these requirements, preferring to run as an anarchist gifting society. We strive to
balance work with celebration and ceremony, and expansive communal living with
retreat and reflection.
