As we chart the uncertain waters of modern times, life in community
serves as both a lifeboat, providing shelter from the storm, and
as a flagship, leading the way to a more sustainable future.
If you seek a life with direction, with greater meaning, holding true to your ideals, follow the course of community.
In community there is strength, gaining the leverage necessary to achieve your full potential.
Take the next step. This Memorial Day Weekend, May 24–26,
join with others who share your vision, and leave uplifted,
with the energy to pursue your real life goals.
In community we depend on each other, and it is clear that
each one of us has value and something to give, contributions to the whole,
made visible through our work.
Find your passion:
- Green Building
- Green Business
- Organic Food Production
- Alternative Education
- Midwifery
- Environmental Activism
- Peace and Justice Activism
- Music and the Arts
- and more
There is room for everyone in community, and you will have the opportunity to see how this
can be expressed in a very real way when you are part of our special gathering.
Without question, our Green Building
Tour is always one of the most popular aspects of our annual
conference. For many years now, The Farm has been undergoing a housing boom,
with an average of 4 new homes under construction every year. Take advantage

including:
