The Justice, Ecology and Democracy Collective (JED) is home to a community of organizers, parents, cultural workers, farmers and healers who share a commitment to living in mutually-supportive community, building self-reliance and cooperation, and working in diverse ways toward social and economic justice, ecological health, and a culture of solidarity and care. 

Since 2001, we have been sinking our roots into the land, working toward our long-term vision of a cooperative community, an organic farm and orchard, and an education, retreat and resource center to support work for social change in Maine and beyond.
