Colchester County, Nova Scotia
Annie Phillips
I’m Annie and I live with my family in the woods of Colchester county, between Debert and Masstown. We’re interested in permaculture and built a passive solar grid-tied house a few years ago and are busy trying to learn how to raise chickens and grow more food than weeds in our garden...an ongoing struggle. But there’s always next year, right?!
While we lived in Calgary for several years we gained wonderful experience living in cohousing, using Calgary Dollars barter currency, hosting travelers through the global couch surfing network, and hosting house concerts and our annual piano rodeo.
In the West Colchester area Annie recently helped establish the Cobequid Supper Club, a free community shared meal held monthly in different community halls in the area with the aim of creating regular, welcoming gathering spaces and opportunities to explore local communities and make new connections.
We are passionate about building community, lifelong learning, sharing, making connections and learning other folks’ stories and what they’re excited about.
