Acorn Community

Acorn Community is a secular, egalitarian community, founded in Virginia during the spring of 1993.

We are committed to income-sharing, sustainable living, and creating a vibrant, eclectic culture.

Our thriving seed business Southern Exposure Seed Exchange is part of a growing network of farmers, gardeners and seed savers dedicated to organic and heritage agriculture. We sell heirloom, open-pollinated, non-GMO and organic seeds and do seed saving education and outreach.

Our community encourages personal responsibility, supports queer and alternative lifestyles, and strives to create a stimulating social, political, feminist and intellectual environment.
