Harvey, I'm going to disagree with you on this one. In South and Central America, cooperative land-ownership and growth management is an extremely common and feasable way to run things like this. Given the enthusiastic response of the membership so far, it would be quite simple to set up a coop under a well-written set of bylaws and proceed smoothly with this kind of venture.

Although, I will say that I would want full soil microbe testing and a disease-history of the region before anything other than rumbled beginnings of a plan take form. As for the collapse of the markets - people will always need to eat.
