Living on the Land - complimentary to guests

Experience life as our ancestors did - in deep connection with the land and with the other creatures who share it. Guests can join our staff to visit our goat herd with baby goats being born in January and February; enjoy luscious fruit picked and eaten right off the tree; help our gardener harvest vegetables from our organic gardens; and traverse our 50 acres of land observing and assisting with other gardens, orchards, and animals. This is a unique experience in sustainable living to help strengthen your relationship the living world - before it was wrapped in plastic.

I was uplifted by the sheer power and beauty of this place. Just being here is reward enough.
