Who We Are
Building life-giving relationships with the land and each other
Our Mission
In a time of upheaval and uncertainty, we seek to be life-giving for the land and each other in practical ways. We’re joining the Spirit of Life in growing food, learning hands-on skills, and doing the hard work of living in community.
Our Vision
We envision thriving ecosystems and thriving communities, following the Spirit’s call.
Our Values
-
Spiritual Practice - Regular shared spiritual practices like song, meditation, and stillness remind us that the Spirit is always at work through us, in us, and beyond us. We’re joining something that began long before us and will continue long after us.
-
Provision - We seek to provide for each other’s practical needs by joyfully, thoughtfully and beautifully growing food, raising animals and making hands-on crafts. We believe that fewer practical goods, thoughtfully made, make for a richer, more meaningful life. Making and growing what we need is an act of mutual care and independence from fragile and unsustainable global supply chains.
-
Growth - We’re meant to be always growing, learning, and helping each other to become the people the Spirit meant us each to be.
-
Relationship - We’re relational beings, meant to shape and be shaped by life-giving relationships with each other and the land. Relationships take work, time and dedication. Relationships in community and with the Spirit can regularly challenge us, yet we believe our lives are richer, the more deeply we commit and allow ourselves to grow with each other and the land.
-
Queerness - We are joyfully queer-founded and queer-led!
