Sustainable Community Living
Dancing Rabbit is an ecovillage and intentional community of about 70 people set amid the hills and prairies of rural northeastern Missouri. Our goal is to live ecologically sustainable and socially rewarding lives, and to share the skills and ideas behind that lifestyle.
About our vision and dream
Learn About Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage
Dancing Rabbit is not a completed ecovillage – it’s very much a work in progress. While in this pioneering stage, our lives are dynamic, often busy, and interesting. Daily life is different for each person who lives here, so it isn’t always easy to generalize about life at DR. We’ve tried to include a lot of detail on our website about what it’s like here and how that ties into sustainability. From the everyday needs of food and shelter to the more complex questions of culture and social change, we’ve tried to at least touch on the major points of our young ecovillage.

About visiting and joining
The Milkweed Mercantile – No Inn Vacancy in 2013
After three seasons of hosting visitors and guests at the inn, the Milkweed Mercantile is instead providing short-term housing for members of Dancing Rabbit. As a result, there are no rooms available for visitors/guests in 2013.
The good news is that the Mercantile’s Cafe, Store and Bar are open! Every Thursday is Pizza Night (featuring mozzarella and feta cheese made here at Dancing Rabbit), and every weekend from May through October the Mercantile serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores all welcomed and respected. We also offer Hands-on Canning Workshops. Please call 660-883-5522 with any questions.
