In 1971, a caravan of 60 brightly painted school buses and assorted
other vehicles carrying more than 300 hippie idealists landed on
an
abandoned farm in central Tennessee. They had a mission: to be
a
part of something bigger than themselves, to follow a peaceful
and
spiritual path, and to make a difference in the world.
Out to Change the World tells the story of how those hippies
established The Farm, one of the largest and longest-lasting
intentional communities in the United States. Starting with the
1960s HaightAshbury scene where it all began and continuing through
the changeover from commune to collective up to the present day,
this is the first complete account of The Farm's origins,
inception, growth, and evolution. By turns inspiring, cautionary,
triumphant, and wistful, it's a captivating narrative from start to
finish.
