What we do

For nearly 25 years the River School Farm has been developing beautiful gardens and recreation amenities along the banks of the Truckee River. Tom and Iris Stille have transferred ownership of the property to Dancing River Community LLC (DRC). They built several new duplex homes which have been sold. DRC is based on permaculture principals and biodynamic practices. Our intentional community is composed of 12 home sites located on more than an acre of land along the Truckee River. Our common grounds consist of river view terraces, amphitheater, pathways and a river beach. Garden areas include fruit trees, grape vines, edible and nectar producing flowers, culinary and medicinal herbs, and vegetable garden plots. Our common house includes a dance/yoga studio, guest room, bath room with shower, entertainment and meeting room as well as shaded out door patio spaces and summer outdoor food preparation area.
