Welcome to
NUBANUSIT NEIGHBORHOOD
& FARM
|
Neighborhoods are among the most promising solutions to many of today's most challenging social and environmental concerns.
We are a family-friendly cohousing community in Peterborough, New Hampshire. We are families, couples, and individuals with a mission to work together to nurture and support each other and the land on which we live. Our condo homes are 'green'—environmentally designed, quality built, and super energy-efficient. The homes are clustered along pedestrian pathways adjacent to our farm fields and the Nubanusit Brook. We share 113 acres of farm land, fields and woodlands with trails, a pond, and nearly a mile of riverfront. We contract with a local farmer to offer a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm on our land. We hope you'll visit and get to know us. Read more... |

Who we are
|
We are 29 households and a working farm.
We range in age from infant to more than 85 years. We value sustainability, community, farming, having fun, and living lightly on the earth. We own our homes and rent.
We work from home, commute within New Hampshire and nationally, and enjoy retirement. We attend public and private schools, and we homeschool. |
LocationPeterborough is a vibrant town of 6,100 residents located along the Contoocook River and Nubanusit Brook in the Monadnock region of southwestern New Hampshire, known for its natural beauty and emphasis on the out-of-doors.
