Our Story
We are a community of committed vegans for the animals. We come from diverse backgrounds, but what holds us together is our committment to walking the gentle path. To doing no harm and to being a part of healing, from the ground up.
Mission statement
Modern Agriculture has failed us. We are looking at a collapsing global ecology, massive extinction of species and the breakdown of society as we know it. Believing that our disconnected ways of relating to our fellow earthlings and the food choices that we make for ourselves have been major contributors to the current state of things, we choose to find new ways of relating to the Earth, the animals, the plants and one another.
Our core belief encompasses veganism and we choose not to eat, wear or in any way support the exploitation of animals. We choose instead to find new ways of producing our food. Ways that support bio diversity and that are life enhancing and sustainable.
With these values in mind, we aim to explore what it means to farm veganically. We aim to create a working model of what a new agriculture could look like. We will favour methods that build soil, that use water respectfully and that do no harm.
Believing that farmed animals will be with us for some time to come, we will provide sanctuary to those animals that we are able to support and care for within the framework of a sustainable farm. These animals will be allowed to live the remainder of their natural lives in as autonomous and authentic a way as possible.
We hope to find new ways of relating to one another that respect our differences and that explore our similarities. We accept that a money economy is the current reality, but within that, we hope to find new ways of exchanging and of valuing one another’s labour, creativity and skills.
Fragrance free
An important part of our farm policy is to be fragrance free. In acknowledgment of the harm that chemical fragrances do to us, animals and the environment, all body products, laundry products and cleaning products used on the farm are chemical and fragrance free. All tenants and guests are asked to leave anything packaged in an aerosol can behind when coming to the farm and to respect that not everyone appreciates powerful perfumes and deoderants. No pesticides or insecticides are allowed onto the farm and no incense, scented candles or oil burners. Not even organic, biodegradable ones.
We are committed to creating a sanctuary where healing can begin and diversity can thrive .
