Where everyday is Earth Day! Charlotte's Muse Urban Farm Food Forest is located in scenic far North Tulsa, destined to be the next big deal in Tulsa urban farming.
It is an intentional community for active Golden Girls and Guys, not ready for nursing homes, sharing laughs, memories, and chores. Everyone has heart to help each other.
Pictures are representative of the change we want to be. There's always constant controlled chaos, churned contrivances, and construction. But, clean private rooms are quiet areas for tranquil reflection and meditation.
One year term. Deposit, $420. Monthly rent, $420.Non-smokers, only. Outside pets allowed. All bills paid. All things considered.
Personal living space for sleeping, studying, meditating, etc etc etc. Wi-fi connection for netrepreneurs, etsyiers, ebayers, shopifyers, etc etc etc.
Weekly events:
Last Tuesdays are Connected Generations Night. Young toddlers, children, parents, and grandparents from the neighborhood visit, to relive those long lost days of yore. Make new friends, new memories, everlasting silly selfies!
Last Friday nights, The Totally Free Green Job Fair. Neighbors congregate, network, and talk green jobs in the neighborhood.
Last Saturday mornings, Growers' Market, for neighbors and friends to swap excess produce. Last Saturday evenings, Cowboy Country Cookout and Jam Session. Neighbors and friends gather to concoct adult beverages and BBQ pesky feral pigs! Have guitar. Will sing. Do a little dance.
Last Sunday mornings, the First Healing Church of Flying Spaghetti Monsters. Last Sunday afternoons, Politician Hang Out Hour. Assorted local, state, and national politicians of various questionable political persuasions visit neighbors and friends, during election season, to make their best case for public office. We never know who might drop in to pitch for votes, O.M.G. unannounced!
The Immediate Ecology and Nearby Environs of the Muse:
The main thoroughfare is the Osage Prairie Bike Trail, where random neighbors meet, greet, and share sublime conversations. The Muse is a rustically luxurious house, with a few quaint rough edges, in an urban neighborhood, adorned with fruit trees, construction material, and all manner of ideas to live in tune with Mother Nature.
At its peak, Muse will grow over a quarter ton of fresh food, all manner of chickens, pigs, goats. Probably way too much for its fair stewards to consume. Most of it, sold to benefit various charities we support.
Our patron Saint, Charlotte, makes the Muse available to out-of-town visitors, who bring fresh new ideas for warmshowers, workaways, or couchsurfing. She purposely maintains just enough modern creature comforts to keep life interesting and the mind challenged. Hot water, refrigerator, and stove.
Water is precious. It is recycled, reused, and refreshed by a thriving aquaponics system, inside of a greenhouse, growing food, fish, and sporting a hot tub, to soothe away the day's back-breaking hard work. Charlotte LOVES hard work!
Horses roam the streets and p**p on sidewalks. It's a place where kids are still kids and play in the streets. A bucolic setting far removed from the constant stress of heavy motor vehicle traffic. Yet, it's only bicycling minutes to Downtown's Greenwood Arts District, Guthrie Green, and Blue Dome.
Muse supports an incubator for developing ideas into sustainable lifestyles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab Off-grid, solar-powered, communal-style shared spaces, kitchen, and composting bathrooms. No, we are not hippies.
We are something awful fierce, active Golden Girls, who intend to hang onto dear life, kicking, screaming, not giving a dang, shoveling out the business, running red lights, when no one's looking, until the very last breath. Fear us, NOW! DIY funerals, anyone? Yep. Charlotte will gladly accommodate. It's only human, right? http://www.npr.org/programs/death/971208.death.html
Planned for 2019:
Greywater recycling vegetable and fruit garden. Chicken, goats, honey bees, and rabbits. Tulsa Free Store offering clothing, shoes, furniture. Tulsa Little Pantry and Free Library. House bands perform occasionally in the backyard. Movies, in the front. Bicycles parked nilly w***y anywhere.
Cozy up to a planned communal rocket mass heater. It not only heats buns on cold winter nights. It bakes pizzas and bread for all. The open floor kitchen/living/dining plan empties out the greenhouse. It reuses black and greywater and grows food. Living walls stocked full of motley of edibles stock in communal and private spaces. Pick and eat 'em fresh, right at your finger tips, anytime!
Lotsa art repurposed, recycled from used tires, plastic bottles, bicycle frames, etc etc etc. Back to the Sixties communal vibe. Come experience an urban oasis of peace, creativity, and tranquility. Planned chicken coop, and beehives, pet shed, growers' market, and rainwater collection system!
Must believe and live this oft-quoted cliche: Be the change you want your world to be. Grow food, NOT lawn! DON'T mow, GROW! For those who are not afraid of anything, ALL ideas considered!
If you've ever been to Burning Man and thought it would really be neato to live there all year round, amongst like-minded urbanauts with envious friends always visiting, this is for you. Somebody is always starting a new project. Rustic setting, within Tulsa City Limits.
For those who've read this far, you already know the poster will not reply to comments. Commenters are only tire-kickers and not serious about this unique opportunity and lifestyle. Only the serious inquire via PMs.
