Mindful Earth Farm is the first Mindful Earth Alliance member farm. It is an evolving multi-family community located on a six-acre certified organic, biodynamic permaculture farm outside of Ashland Oregon. We are weaving a regenerative, playful and prayerful living environment where both our littles and our own inner-children can evolve in a heart-centered, village oriented container that is grounded in living abundance, food sovereignty and collaborative land stewardship. We currently have seven people, including me and my 8 year old daughter, living on the farm as well as goats, chickens, bunnies, three dogs and a few cats. Although the farm has worn many cash hats over the last ten years, from a market garden, to a hemp farm, a hemp seed breeding research facility, and most recently a heritage grain research farm, the more permanent aspects of the farm including the food forests and horticulture have continued to evolve despite historic droughts and high temperatures over the last couple of years. As the focus from agricultural production has lifted, Mindful Earth Farm is now expanding towards using the existing farm as a teaching facility. We currently offer classes and workshops in biodynamic and “bio-resonant” farming and natural building as well as Detox and Cleansing retreats, kirtan, song circles and African drumming, and Bio-Resonant Science classes and summer camps. Due to the intimate nature of living in a small farm community, receiving a family with similar values, ethics and lifestyles is important to us. Over the years we have crafted healthy community agreements as well as protocols for decision making and conflict resolution. As living documents these agreements will be revisited in regular scheduled community meetings and molded to best accommodate the needs and offerings of potential community members. As the Mindful Earth Alliance takes on additional bio-resonant land stewardship properties, we will be looking for skilled farmers, artisans an crafts folk and to steward these properties as well.
Mindful Earth Alliance is a Bio-Resonant Land Stewardship Movement born out of the need to co-create long term food sovereignty, healthy diverse eco-systems and robust community farm living in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon… and beyond.
Potential long-term community members begin their stay at Mindful Earth Farm (or any of the future Mindful Earth Alliance Farms) under a clear rental agreement for a minimum period of one year. After a year’s time, community membership and potential buy into the community is discussed and when an agreement is reached that feels like a win win agreement, then a contract is written for formal community membership.
