SUSTAINABILITY IS A BRIDGE. REGENERATION IS THE DESTINATION.
regenerative agriculture supports land management practices that build soil health, crop resilience and nutrient density as a way to rebalance the carbon cycle, all in response to the threat of climate change and/or a failing agricultural system. regeneratION brings renewed life and diversity and builds resilience not only in the soil, but also the
mind, body and spirit.
The future holds opportunities for beekeeping and honey production, medicinal herbs, flower essences, hemp, fungi, agro-forestry, orchards and more. All of these farm operations are available to the Community residents to become involved financially as an investment and/or labor participation with an income.
“We have the world to live in on the condition that we will take good care of it. And to take good care of it, we have to know it. And to know it, and to be willing to take care of it, we have to love it.”
