Description: Come join
us for an introduction to permaculture and our community
lifestyle! Take a fun and informative tour of our land with
Tracy, including our organic gardens, alternative building
methods, off grid solar system, animals and orchards. Learn some basics of permaculture concepts and how
we apply them in action.
We are a committed group of people working together closely
in community, on our 24 acres organic permaculture farm. We
integrate the social aspects of sustainability into daily
life: how to live together with honesty, love and peace, and
share power and leadership. We do not have one central
leader, but instead share the cost of the land and the
leadership equally. This is a great time to tour the land and ask
questions about community.
Let us know if you are coming. Thanks!
