Our vision is to:
Inspire all people to align with the natural rhythms of the earth. Deepen people’s ecological consciousness and self-awareness. Promote a reverence for the sacred act of farming and the art of healing. Provide a model for living balanced and sustainable lifestyles in harmony with Nature. Our goals are to:
Help create a sustainable food system in our region and around the world.
Develop and promote an earth-centric community. Serve as an agricultural educational resource and healing arts center. Our values include:
Ethical: We consider the natural environment to be sacred, and we relate to it with ecological integrity. Respectful: We offer amiable living and working conditions, and encourage the input of employees, volunteers, customers, clients, and program participants in achieving the mission, vision, and goals of the farm. Regional Self-Sufficiency: We participate in the development and preservation of locally available resources, such as open pollinated seeds, which increase genetic diversity and food sovereignty in our region. Educational: We aim to advance current knowledge of sustainable agriculture and nature-based health and wellness philosophies, and to teach it to others. Site Disclaimer:
We have chosen not to be a “certified” organic farm because we believe that our community trusts us enough to know that the ecological integrity of our production methods is superior to any of those proposed by the USDA’s “organic certification” program. We also feel that the time and money needed to certify our farm is better invested into the farm itself. The farm is in many ways a wildlife sanctuary and is subsequently treated as such.
