Info for Prospective Members
Keveral Farm, an organic farming community in Cornwall, is sometimes looking for new members.
You must have a desire to live in a community, be willing to take part in all aspects of managing the co-op, and be enthusiastic about living in the shared farmhouse.
Vacancies are usually in the farmhouse, where there are eight bedrooms plus shared kitchen, dining room, lounge, large conservatory and bathroom.
The rent is from about £55-80 per week depending on the accommodation, and the fuel charge is £80 per month.
You must be happy to live in a shared house - so you need to be easy-going, respectful and responsible.
We also have separate dwellings (static caravans, a barn conversion and a wooden cabin), but these are usually occupied by existing members.

The Joining Process
The joining process to becoming a full member can vary according to circumstances, but is generally:
1. send an email - express your interest, tell us about yourself;
2. initial visits - help out, get to know each other, find out about Keveral, discussions, questions;
3. a longer stay of about one month - get involved, attend meetings, discuss plans;
4. move in - with a view to becoming a member, fully participate, pay rent;
5. reviews - to see how it's going;
6. become a trial member - start the 6 month trial period;
7. a review after 3 months;
8. a review after 5 months;
9. decision on full membership - at the end of the 6 month trial period.
Becoming a full member is a long process, and can take at least one year.

Being a Company Director
Becoming a full member means you become a company director of our housing co-op, One Community Ltd, and your name and date of birth must be registered with the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). Some people may be excluded from being a company director.

Contact Us
If you are interested in joining, please email keveralfarm@yahoo.co.uk and say something about yourself, why you think you would like to live at Keveral, and what you might do to support yourself financially.
Please note that we have a lot of enquiries from prospective residents, we cannot reply to everyone, and we are only able to invite a small number.
If we invite you to visit, you would stay for a few days to a week as a volunteer on your first visit.
If we don't invite you, but you want to visit anyway to see Keveral and the area, you could stay as a self-contained paying camper.
