Farm description
The world is in a profound state of upheaval. And while the causes of our turmoil are incredibly complex and overwhelming, the solutions are elegantly simple, and all around us. We wish to be in service to life through this great transition. We are called to help build the foundation for resilient local communities that are based on ecologically regenerative food systems. We are guided by the knowledge of our pre-industrial ancestors, the wisdom of our Indigenous elders, and the practices of modern agro-ecological land stewards. We are developing a regenerative farm to help life thrive into the future.
