Every family will be a shareholder in the co-op and be able to sell their surplus produce (if they so choose) through the co-op, as well as work in one of many secondary co-ops and/or in their own home-based business.We offer tours of Riverbed Ranch nearly every Saturday, and weekly live Q&A Zoom sessions.The Utah OSR Land Co-op is a partner in the \"Operation Self-Reliance\" initiative. That initiative is an effort to help families and individuals gracefully extract themselves from the dependencies of city life and move to a country culture of self-reliance surrounded by like-minded neighbors and remaining debt-free. One sister organization, the educational non-profit, Academy of Self-Reliance, offers a training program called “The Path to Self-Reliance” which includes a series of webinars, homework assignments, and hands-on projects that will assist you in creating your Path out of city life and into your own ideal modern homestead." } ] } ] ```
