Description
This is a personal homestead and not-for-profit community project. We are growing food for our nourishment, to strengthen our connection to the land where we live, and to reduce dependency on imported and potentially toxic ingredients. We are also building spaces for folks to cultivate a lifestyle more connected with the earth, and with each other. The project has an agroecology focus with emphasis on cultivating and preparing medicinal perennials, annual vegetables, flowers. We aim for more regenerative methods of food production, and sustainability harvest wild foods as well.
