Our Belief
When well-informed and civic-minded people have developed wholistic decision making skills, problems become opportunities. If we take the time to reflect on what is occurring all around us we can see much pain, struggling, hardship, as people try to provide a safe and healthy home. People are gradually waking up to the fact that what they have been eating is not good for them and may be contributing to chronic illness, disease and early death. Furthermore when they try to seek advice on what they should eat the information is confusing. Who do they trust?
We believe in self-empowerment through making our own life-long continuing education and skill development a priority. This may include community classes, watching educational videos (free online), reading books that help us learn more about a subject that you can create a plan and put into action.
Tomorrow is too late to begin, action need to begin right now. The question that I have for you is do you really want to settle for the ordinary life that you see all around you? Or do you want to make your life Extraordinary?
Miracles happen when you make a plan and make it happen! You must Own It!

The mind map (diagram) above shows the main components of our Farm/Sanctuary. Careful attention is paid to the soil, including the soil microbiome, being created on-site, as well as, the nutrient content of the plants grown on the farm. We also rely on the scientific literature to help us select and propagate the plants that will have the most beneficial effects on the health of those that consume the fruits and vegetables grown on the site.
Nutrition is one of the greatest pitfalls in the world today. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is literally the leading perpetuating factor resulting in death, chronic illness and is an important factor in all-cause mortality today. We encourage a Whole Food Plant-Based diet to help address human health concerns, positive environmental impact and it offers a potential for individuals to live a long, happy and healthy life without harming animals while reducing mankind’s damaging effects on air, water and soil. We are also permaculturists having been actively designing and redesigning our site based on the ethics and principals of permaculture. Our demonstration site aspirations go beyond the purview of permaculture alone. We encourage mindfulness, a heighten state of awareness throughout the day, while peacefully recognizing and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and sensations, which is a vital component to optimal health. We are also pioneers in renewable and sustainable design and building. We designed and constructed a very efficient passive solar post and beam home in the early 80’s. We have a large subterranean thermal mass heat storage unit that is used to store excess heat and maintain a constant comfortable household environment. We also have a large photovoltaic solar array that meets all of our energy needs of the entire site. We hope to have both introductory and continuing education classes on site in the near future. Education
We are developing an educational center that facilitates, informs and empowers people to understand, appreciate, and develop knowledge and skills that enable them to take the next step in a healthy more well-rounded life. Optimal Health Enthusiasts We are homesteading, securing our own food and medicinal plants, while producing phytonutrient rich products containing many of the most important plant compounds you can get in your diet. Our products are rich in Isothiocyanates, sulforaphane, and flavonoids such as anthocyanins which are a few of the powerful compounds that have been the subject of intense nutritional research. |
Our Purpose
Create resilient and replicable wholistic landscapes that include a profitable small farm-based businesses and integrative supportive ecosystems. 
Our Mission
We strive to meet our needs while rebuilding the soils, reducing waste, sequestering carbon, capturing and gathering water, producing solar power, passively heating and cooling our buildings while reestablishing ecosystems and having a positive impact on our communities as well as our health.
