The Farm



Farm Ecological Mission & Vision

To respect Natural life, its systems and processes - preserving wildlife and botanical habitat, and creating a life-style that regenerates, rather than diminishing the integrity of THE SOURCE FARM environment.

As members of Source Farm Ecovillage (SFE) we are committed to the well being of the land in our care, to its ecological communities, and to our fellow community members. Together, we are creating an eco-spiritual culture for ourselves and our world. In this sacred work, it is incumbent upon us to proceed mindfully, intelligently, and with deep respect as we develop our community, homes, and businesses on the land.

SFE has placed itself on the cutting edge of this work of transforming culture and consciousness. We hope that our members will choose to commit themselves and their energies to the manifestation of this great evolutionary work. We offer these guidelines as a foundation for responsible, ecological living on our land. Together we can grow this world back to health.
