Program Highlights

Learn to provide for your and your community’s needs by engaging with the daily and yearly rhythms of our sustainable working farm and with the care of the gardens and animals.
Experience connection with the natural world through wilderness trips and hands-on skills – canoeing, backpacking, navigation, natural history, and more.
Develop homesteading skills while practicing the crafts of food preservation, in-season cooking, forestry, carpentry, fiber arts, and beyond—helping us to harness and preserve the seasonal harvest.
Share space as a cohort of peers and practice skills that are crucial within an intentional community: self-governance, communication practices, and group processes.
Engage in self-inquiry—reflection and critical questioning of our experiences and stories within our lives, our community, and our society; not in a vacuum, but alongside work and learning.
