What We Do
Ecological Learning
Center:
retreats, programs, seasonal celebrations, off-site presentations and
retreats
Community Supported Garden: We
have engaged in an ongoing process of creating a sustainable, just,
healthy food system where we grow and distribute organic vegetables,
herbs and flowers for close to 100 families. This project is currently
(August, 2004) well into its second season. Our Community Supported
Garden is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between our
community members, our farmers and the land itself. The members (or
shareholders) pay an annual membership fee that covers the production
costs of the project. They also contribute 3 hours a month of
contributed labor in some form or fashion: from designing a web site,
to helping with weeding, to keeping a budget, to building fencing. The
farmers do their best in working with the land to provide a wide variety
of produce harvested in season at their peak of ripeness, flavor and
vitamin and mineral content. This arrangement guarantees the farmers
financial support.
