Homesteading Town Update - Riverbed Ranch - 22 FEB 2021

"We're Doing it!" - This video is an update for Utah's first and only #NonProfit​ land developer, the Utah OSR Land #Cooperative​, and Utah's only modern #Farmsteading​ community - Riverbed Ranch!

In this episode we show some of what's happening at #RiverbedRanch​ lately, including some cool house and farm layout designs one shareholder has created.

About the Riverbed Ranch

The Utah OSR Land Cooperative is a non-profit agricultural co-op organized under Title 3 of the Utah Code. The co-op shareholders together own Riverbed Ranch -- a 1,245 acre piece of farmland located in Juab County on the border of Tooele County. The residential area has been subdivided into 250 two to 3.9 acre lots where families can build the online-but-off-grid farmsteads of their dreams.

One of many we save our shareholders money

The Utah OSR Land Co-op is actually four types of cooperatives in one, benefiting the co-op members in several ways:
- A consumer co-op (like Costco) that can get discounts for the members,
- A marketing co-op (like ACE Hardware) that can sell our members' products under one label,
- A housing cooperative (like in Chicago & New York) that keeps costs low, and
- A worker-owned co-op (like WinCo Foods) which gives members first dibs on jobs the co-op creates in the community.

Our Track Record

As of today, 49 families are following our proven OSR Farmstead Launching Process which includes the following:
1. Attracting self-reliant, social people who share our vision of a modern homesteading community where families can provide their own needs while surrounded by others doing the same.
2. The Path Training Program helps families identify their homesteading wants and needs, plans, and projected costs.
3. The Academy of Self-Reliance newsletter keeps the vision alive and informs subscribers of group savings available.
4. Prospective Shareholder Interview makes double-sure that your family is ready to make the transition to a lifestyle of independence & self-reliance.
5. Joining the OSR Co-op – Families join a community of other self-reliant people working and helping each other.
