As of April 2022 we are stewards of a beautiful 26-acre farm, which lies on the unceded territory of the Quiroste people, near Davenport, CA. The land has been managed organically for the past 30 years and now we are transitioning to a regenerative, organic, no-till, mixed vegetable, flower, fruit, herb, and agroforestry farm with a strong emphasis on education. Our farm aims to push the limits on regenerative agriculture to increase biodiversity, resilience, and community. We’re delighted to have such an incredibly beautiful and wild space to host our permaculture courses and farm events.
