The Soil to Soul Community Directory

Welcome in!

You’ve joined something special.

The Soil to Soul Community Directory is here to support real-world connection — not just conversation.

This resource library exists to help you move thoughtfully, safely, and confidently as you explore land sharing, community living, skill swaps, and local food networks.

We created these tools because good intentions alone aren’t enough.

Strong communities grow from:

• clear communication
• shared expectations
• mutual respect
• safety
• good boundaries
• honest conversations
• trial periods
• and realistic planning


Inside this Resources Hub you’ll find two main types of support:

Reading Guides

Short, practical lessons that explain concepts like:
• different types of land sharing
• how to write a profile
• how to meet people safely
• insurance and council basics
• community agreements
• communication frameworks

Templates & Worksheets

Printable, fill-in tools you can actually use:
• profile builders
• trial stay questions
• land-use agreements
• house rules
• chores charts
• skill lists
• safety checklists
• exit plans


We recommend working through these in order — starting with Start Here, then moving into connection-building, land sharing, and finally deeper community planning.

There’s no rush. You don’t need to use everything at once.

Take what’s helpful for where you are right now.

And remember:

  • This Directory is about real people in real places.
  • Move slowly.
  • Ask questions.
  • Trust your gut.
  • Keep communication kind and clear.

And if you ever feel unsure, reach out — we’re inside the community with you and here to help.

Welcome to your people.
