Advice on community organizing idea, keeping it communist. (lemmygrad.ml)

I live in a small Canadian village that imports most of it's leafy greens from the US. They're neither fresh nor cheap, and with Trump's new tariffs, people might be willing to consider alternatives.

Here is an idea for a turn-key hydroponic operation I feel could be implemented where I live: https://www.thegrowcer.ca/featured-farmers/filling-a-community-need-valemount-learning-society

I'm looking for advice on structuring/education/outreach for building a new community organization around this idea while ensuring the organization is and remains thoroughly communist.

I'm totally inexperienced when it comes to organizing so take this with a grain of salt, but you might want to just focus on solving the issue at hand before making some rule for communist purity. That way you can be more far reaching in gathering a community around it.

If you are personally a communist and you set a good example in your community then naturally people may follow. But starting from the top down with communism is probably not going to help and might put your project dead on arrival.
