Our Ecovillage

OUR ECOVILLAGE TODAY:
At present, 12-14 adults and 3 children reside here. Residents range in age from 5 -73, and are an eclectic group, with a wide range of skills including: Art, healing, creative writing, music, therapy, farming, teaching and herbalism. Thanks to the healing environment, the children who have been raised here are healthy, intelligent, and more harmoniously connected to Nature.

Throughout the year, we come together to garden in our beautiful concentric circle mandala garden where we grow a wide variety of vegetables. There is also a magical spiral herb garden, and an orchard with heirloom apple and plum trees. These gardens have thrived with the help of Agnihotra, without which, none of this would be possible.

Of course no farm is complete without animals, of which we have many. We have three healthy cows who graze freely on our surrounding meadows. We also have dogs, cats, ducks and frogs!

A key element to the microclimate of our farm are our thriving beehives which produce delicious medicinal honey. They are incredibly important to the balance of our eco-system, by pollinating the flowers of the heirloom trees in our large orchard, the blossoming gardens as well as the surrounding meadows.

These ancient healing fires have attracted all the help that a gardener needs to bring back Mother Nature’s natural balance. In this nurturing atmosphere, the land becomes a sanctuary for all living beings— lizards, frogs, birds, ladybugs, dragon flies, salamanders, grasshoppers, all flock to this oasis.

Our Ecovillage embodies over two decades of dedication, hard work, and a common desire to live in harmony with Nature. We have endeavored to create a microclimate where all life can thrive, held in balance through the harmonious interchange between ourselves and Mother Earth. Above all, in our hearts we are committed to the service of our fellow living beings and our beloved planet. Now more then ever, we all need to come together to plant seeds of change.
