You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''East Wind Community''' is an [[intentional community]] located in the [[Missouri]] [[Ozarks]]. Founded in 1974, it is a secular and democratic community in which members hold all community assets in common. Each member is also given food, shelter, clothing, medical care, education, and a monthly stipend.<ref>[http://eastwind.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=28 About Our Community] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100711202022/http://eastwind.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=28 |date=2010-07-11 )) ''East Wind Community.''</ref> All major decisions are made by direct democratic processes with managers for various positions being elected annually.

==Overview==
East Wind Community owns ((convert|1045|acre|km2)) of land and several businesses and its members pursue a mix of agricultural, industrial, domestic and social pursuits.((sfn |Londberg |2017)) The community is located off [[U.S. Route 160|Route 160]] on the southern end of county road 547 in [[Ozark County, Missouri|Ozark County]] just outside [[Tecumseh, Missouri]].

The community has acres of gardens for vegetables and herbs, small orchards, as well as tens of acres of pasture. In the past decade, homegrown food production and processing has become a major focus. [[Tree planting]] and holistic forestry management are also a priority. Members learn and teach homesteading skills ranging from cheesemaking and woodworking to canning and auto repair.<ref>Wheeler, Boone.

The East Wind Community has several income sources including a [[nut butter]] business named East Wind Nut Butters that generates $500,000 annually. The community manufactures [[peanut butter]], cashew butter, [[almond butter]] and [[tahini]] as well as a peanut butter and a tahini that are organic.<ref>Wheeler, Vivian.

They used to produce handmade drums through Slackjaw Percussion. Members are required to work a certain number of hours and income from the businesses is used to support the community.<ref>Mairson, Alan. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080103073217/http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0508/feature7/index.html 65760: Not Quite Utopia.] ''[[National Geographic (magazine)|National Geographic]].'' August 2005.</ref>

Prospective members are selected by a membership team and are then invited for a three-week visitor period, at the end of which they may become provisional members, barring the existence of too many concerns within the community. Following a one-year provisional membership full members have the opportunity to call for a vote on any new member who may either be too disruptive or who is failing to do their fair share of the labor. There is also an associate status for people who do not wish to make a full commitment to the community.  A provisional member has an option to take a leave.  If during the first two weeks as a provisional member this leave may be up to a year long.

East Wind is a member of the [[Federation of Egalitarian Communities]], which also includes the communities [[Twin Oaks Community|Twin Oaks]], Sandhill Farm, and several others. There are many community conferences and labor exchanges between the communities, and there is a fund which all the communities pay into to help cover any major medical expenses.

Members live in [[dorm]] style buildings and there is a central dining hall, laundry and shower house. There are also several personal shelters designated as doubles for couples and visitors. Common spaces for  recreational activities including computers also exist.<ref>[http://eastwind.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=30 About Our Businesses.] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100711202032/http://eastwind.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=30 |date=2010-07-11 )) ''East Wind Community.''</ref>
