Stewardship

We have a 1,200 acre farm, including a two-acre intensive garden with fruit trees, acres of irrigated pastures, milk cows, goats, chickens and more.

BioDynamics

We teach organic and biodynamic farming/gardening practices and permaculture principles. Into this we weave opportunity to explore.

Community

Our mission is that we are creating an intercultural biodynamic farm community serving our sacred sites within Chirusco Valley near Vilcabamba.
