Deck Family Farm is a diversified livestock farming community, practicing regenerative agriculture and intentional community building, seeking to add more families with children!
Our farm was started by John and Christine Deck. Several of their five adult children are involved with daily aspects of the farm and 2 also live on the property with their families, including 2 grandchildren, ages 5 and 6 months. A third, grandchild, age 5 visits regularly. Other community members include a farm manager and his family and 5-10 intern and apprentices.
We:
âť– Value Farm and Nature based education
âť– Value the importance of including children of all ages in our daily lives, and encourage them to engage with chores
âť– Value Waldorf educational and lifestyle values such as no to low media/screens as well as homeschool and unschool
âť– Have a desire to build a permanent community of farm workers and managers, provided we find the right families.
âť– Value the importance of medical freedom and proactive health
âť– Have omnivorous and animal inclusive diets
âť– Have flexibility in our values and value a community of people with diversified backgrounds
We do require all community members to work 32+hours on the farm, for pay.
We are focused on regenerative production agriculture and communal living, sharing a sense of purpose through meals and our work.
