    A Vision...

    “A vision without a task is but
    a dream, a task without vision
    is drudgery, a vision with a task
    is the hope of the world.”

    —From a church in Sussex, England, dated 1730

  • Create an environment where one heals the body and mind, nurtures the Earth, and experiences the fullness of Spirit
  • Work in harmony with natural processes to foster a sense of community in the group and a sense of wholeness in the individual
  • Produce high quality, vital food of the greatest possible nutritional value
  • Produce this food organically, that is, without the use of chemical inputs in the form of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides
  • Teach and share lifestyles which encourage physical and spiritual wellness for the individual as well as for the planet, through workshops and retreats
