Mystic-skeptic Radio Show

In this weeks show our guest is Phil Schweitzer a founding member of The Farm Community, he traveled to San Francisco from the east coast in 1967 after hearing news about the burgeoning “hippie” movement congregating there. A weekly class he attended, conducted by a former San Francisco State college instructor, evolved into a caravan tour made up of school buses and vans, housing as many as 200 people, which circled the country beginning in the fall of 1970, finally arriving in Tennessee to set up an intentional community in early 1971. Phil was instrumental in locating property close to the land that has been home to the “Farm” community since their arrival. He founded a rock band that toured extensively in the US and Europe in the ’70s, as well as an audio recording studio that still exists today. Phil’s business partner, Douglas Stevenson, had built a video company beginning in the mid-1980’s, and their partnership formed in 1993 became a small multi-media organization called Village Media Services.
