Celebrating our Afro-Indigenous heritage through land stewardship
OUR FARMILY
A community full of love and joy
When you feel an affinity for the human and more-than-human kin around you, you engage in what it means to build an intentional, leader-full community. By recognizing ourselves as part of the Earthseed family, which includes wise trees, nurturing soil, and curious animals, we learn how to create a leader-full community. Humans constantly seek ways to socialize and connect with others, which helps us build a community full of love and joy.
As social creatures, we seek to develop relationships with all those we encounter, making us, at our roots, continually engaged in creation and generation. For us, generation is a measure of time and an expression of the creative energy that flows through us. We recognize that joy is essential to this process, so we encourage all visitors to embrace generation through the playful exploration of the farm.
