• Fellowship for Intentional Community

Founded in 1968, City of the Sun is located on 157 acres in Luna County, New Mexico, adjacent to the to Village of Columbus. Columbus is located on Highway 11, thirty miles south of Deming (off I-10), and three miles north of Palomas, Mexico. Our goal is to live and work in mutual cooperation; to explore methods of gardening and horticulture in the desert. Our spiritual beliefs vary, all paths welcome. We offer workshops about making bokashi and using effective microorganisms. We have on grid living as well as a designated off-grid area for alternative housing, solar energy, and composting. We have one irrigation well, pristine waster water lagoon and green cemetery. Some residents use solar water distillers. Due to lack of jobs in the area, residents must be self-sufficient.

We have a small sleeping room for short term rental for prospective visitors or guests. Some members have space available to rent, and we have 2 RV sites.
