Mariya Manzhos introduces us to a modern "intentional community."
It started in 2007, when "a group of developers passionate about sustainable living and community-based agriculture set out to turn 113 acres in Peterborough, New Hampshire, into an eco-friendly neighborhood."
There are now 29 households making up Nubanusit Neighborhood and Farm, a modern “co-living” model where residents own their homes and work regular jobs, but share and collectively care for the common spaces.
“I do think it’s countercultural, because we grew up in an individualistic country,” said Angela Pape, who has lived in the neighborhood for four years with her husband and three children. “So to have a bunch of people who grew up in an individualistic culture to come together — you sometimes have to put your personal priority aside.”
‘He’s been in those gritty situations’: How Ed Eyestone shapes, builds and coaches champions
Ed Eyestone was still jet-lagged and sneaking naps following his return from the Paris Olympic Games — and, for that matter, the yearlong, intense run-up to those Games — when he had to get back to work. He took his BYU cross-country team to Eden, Utah, for its annual preseason training camp and the start of another training cycle.
“The grind starts again,” says Eyestone.
But what does he do for an encore? It has been an eventful few months for Eyestone and BYU’s distance running program. No university had more current or former distance runners on the Olympic track than BYU.
“It was a great year,” says Eyestone. “It’s been one thing after another.”

The nation’s tart cherry and cranberry producers are fighting back against a proposed overhaul by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that makes sweeping changes to the classifications of certain foods, including these nutrient dense fruits.
Utah is No. 2 in the nation for the volume of its tart cherry production, growing 33 million pounds annually. Michigan is No. 1. Five states in the nation are primarily the leading cranberry producers, with Wisconsin on top with about 60% of the nation’s production in an industry valued in that state alone at a billion dollars. Both fruits are important economic drivers for states and — despite what labeling requirements may come with this proposal — are tasty fruit.
“These tart cherries have many health benefits when consumed. Tart cherries are excellent sources of fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. Tart cherries, however, are not naturally sweet, and sugar must be added for most consumers to find them palatable,” wrote Terry Camp, vice president of public policy for the Utah Farm Bureau Federation.
