At Moonridge Institute, we believe a village can be more than a place to live — it can be a living, breathing network of care, creativity, and abundance.

Our first major project, Moonridge Hollow, will bring that belief to life.

What is Moonridge Hollow?

Moonridge Hollow will be a multi-generational, land-based community where essential workers, artists, culture bearers, and first responders can:

• Live affordably in tiny homes and shared spaces
• Grow food together in orchards, gardens, and greenhouses
• Share skills in workshops, kitchens, and community spaces
• Connect deeply with neighbors and the land

Built for People, Not Profit

Instead of market-driven rents and speculative development, Moonridge Hollow will be held in trust for the community — ensuring affordability and access for generations to come.

Why We’re Starting Here

South-central Pennsylvania is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. It’s also a place where housing costs are rising faster than wages. We believe Moonridge Hollow can be a model for how small communities can thrive without pushing people out.

How You Can Be Part of It

• Share your ideas — we want to hear from you
• Offer your skills — from carpentry to teaching to gardening
• Support the vision — through donations, partnerships, or spreading the word

Moonridge Hollow is where our dream takes root. And we’d love for you to be part of it from the very beginning.
