We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable living skills in the Illinois Valley of Southern Oregon since 2006.
One of the most valuable experiences for us has been the journey of finding right relationship with the environment that we are inextricably woven. We are passionate about being homesteaders and stewards
of Southern Oregon, and sharing knowledge
specific to this area.
