Grimm Acres Community

Mission: ​Since you can't have an intentional community without intention, ours is to simply "thrive together".

Everyone who lives or visits Grimm Acres brings a lifetime of experience to share with others. Even the children have unique experiences, perspectives and skills to offer and teach.

Grimm Acres Community Living, is a beautiful place to put down some roots, enjoy nature, explore the simple life, a time for quiet reflection, and be a part of a community that works together to achieve community goals.

Grimm Acres is a wonderful place to be at one with nature, animals, birds, and the trees that surround us. While at the same time each member of the community can engage in meaningful work. Creating tiny living shelters, discovering nature trails, creating healthy gardens to grow community food, animal husbandry, and discovering the meaning of community as we all work side by side together.

Grimm Acres is the best place to rediscover who you are, who you want to be, and where you want to be in life. Here you can learn new things, become a part of a community that is sustainable and self-sufficient, be able to help others, and journey with peace.

Living simply is the Grimm Acres way, and understanding that our place here on earth is to learn and help others learn in the process. We embrace learning new things, learning from others, and understand that many great minds can achieve much more than just one great mind.

Teaching our local community on gardening, identifying plants, trees, canning, building simple shelters, and how working as a community can enhance the lives around you.

Orion and Josie Grimm settled in Waynesburg, KY. Both with the vision of creating a place full of family, love, and a sense of community. Understanding that in today's tough economic times, how cool it would be to open up their homestead to others to create an intentional community that relishes in the simple things of life. Creating a place where others could enjoy the beauty that surrounds them, garden together, raise animals together, build together, and eventually become a self-sustained intentional community. After all, it takes a village. Troy and Dawn have lived in communities, such as Alpha Farm in Oregon and were invited to Grimm Acres ​as part of the core group with their children, Heather and Ivy.
