There are no bosses, owners, investors, or supervisors. Although structured in areas such as membership, we intentionally keep policies to a minimum, preferring a calm anarchy to prevail. Of the few policies that are in place, our culture encourages personal responsibility rather than supervision, as well as taking issues on a case-by-case basis keeping in mind that needs of individuals vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our community strives to create a stimulating social, political, feminist and intellectual environment. &nbsp;Acorn strongly desires to support developing egalitarian and like-minded communities through participation in the Federation of Egalitarian Communities.&nbsp;Our collectively owned business has been active in protesting GMO seed contamination&nbsp;by Monsanto. &nbsp;We desire to&nbsp;support queer and alternative lifestyles and gender expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acorn Community Farm is an egalitarian community in central Virginia founded in 1993.
