About
Sunwise Co-op is a cooperative household in the Village Homes neighborhood in West Davis. Sunwise is an eco-friendly house run cooperatively, providing low-income housing opportunities in Davis, California. The 8-bedroom house is full of low-impact features such as solar water heating, photovoltaic panels, passive solar design, and composting. We grow our own veggies in a big luscious garden, and enjoy the company of chickens and bees (and each other). We maintain the house through weekly chores and monthly workdays, share vegetarian dinners Monday through Thursday, and make decisions by consensus during bi-weekly house meetings. All house members must be either students or earn less than 80% of median income for the region (about $42,500 in 2010).
Sunwise is part of Solar Community Housing Association, a Davis non-profit dedicated to create community and respect for the environment through affordable, cooperative housing. We are members of
NASCO.
Current residents include 8 adults (age 25-37), one child (age 8), and a few pets (currently one rat, 14 chickens, plenty of worms, and about a hundred thousand bees). The adults are about half grad students and half working adults.
Sunwise is open to boarders! (Boarder: someone who cooks and eats with us.) If you are looking for a good place to cook and eat organic vegetarian dinners, with a bunch of friendly faces and at a low budget, please stop by at 7:00, Monday-Thursday. Call us at (530)753-7657 or email sunwise.coop@gmail.com.
