The sacred land that allowed us to actualize and live symbiotically with is in the Sangre De Cristo range and the Wahatoya Mtns. at 8500 ft. Since establishing the non-profit Earth Mountain Education Farm in 2004 we have been developing a 40 acre basecamp and surrounding 480 acre cooperative owned land through Permaculture and education. We have been hosting work-trade and residential internship folks for over fifteen years, yet would like to establish a long-term community. So far there are 3 families living completely off-grid on their own properties. Earth Mountain Education Farm is a central cottage industry for the community including, organic farming, nursery, urban farms, goat dairy, environmental education programs, camps, WWOOFing opportunities, and permaculture education. We envision 3 or more households who are passionate about a simple permaculture lifestyle, education, and community. At 8500 ft we are definitely living a high mtn. life in the forest remotely, with the closest town of Trinidad 1 hour away. Most structures are naturally built, cob, cordwood, and strawbale. It has been an amazing journey raising two boys, born on the land and homeschooled and know it is a special gift to raise children in this environment. We hope in coming together we can establish more community principles and strength for each other.
Our community vision: Approximately 15 people living intentionally together welcoming personal growth, healing and contributing to each others lives and the organization, land and farm. Our organizational mission: To educate for a sustainable future through experiential education programs that encourage personal growth, social responsibility, and environmental awareness.
