You should have a clear idea of how to  support yourself before moving here. Employment opportunities are much more  limited than in a major metropolitan area. Most of us earn our livings in nearby  communities. Winona, MN (population 30,000) is 15 miles away, La Crosse, WI (pop. 75,900 ) 30 miles and Rochester, MN (pop. 93,300) 50 miles away. Rushford is the closest town, though tiny  (pop.1,800). The occupations of members include:  school administrator, forester, gardener, church administrator, bookkeeper,  doula, artist, engineer, and farm worker.         [ZVCC] [Members] [Values]  [Governance] [Ownership] [Financial ] [The Land] [Things to do] [Earn a living]  [Visiting Z] [Joining] [Photo 1] [Photo 2]
