What we do

Bigfoot Nature Fellowship is a Florida‑based nonprofit that blends voluntaryism, permaculture, and spiritual ecology to help people live more freely and in harmony with nature. Through workshops, food forests, retreats, and online media, we teach regenerative living, food sovereignty, and self‑reliance inspired by Taoist principles, animism, and the “Bigfoot” spirit of wild autonomy. Join our mission to awaken, grow your own food, and reconnect with the land—explore events and resources today!

Our Mission

We Are BIGFOOT NATURE FELLOWSHIP
A Movement to Reclaim Our Sacred Connection To Nature
We demonstrate through education, media, activism, and living examples that human beings can thrive in harmony with nature and with one another through voluntary cooperation, permaculture stewardship, and spiritual awakening—without coercion, government control, or systemic dependency.
Bigfoot represents what we’re reclaiming: The human being harmonized with nature. Living freely. Not requiring permission. Self-reliant. In reciprocal relationship with all beings. Elusive to systems of control.
This isn’t about believing in or worshipping a cryptid—it’s about awakening the Bigfoot within ourselves. That part of humanity that remembers how to live wild, free, wise, and in balance with the living world.
We’re not theorizing another way. We’re demonstrating it. Through real food forests, real media, real communities, and real transformation. We’re showing people that freedom from coercive systems isn’t just philosophical—it’s practical, filmable, and shareable.
Bigfoot Food Forest is our flagship 5-acre project nestled in New Port Richey, FL. It is the community center brainchild of world-renowned Bigfoot researcher Ryan “RPG” Golembeske (yes, he’s been on TV!) and the ever-resourceful author and content creator Cory Endrulat, who’s been rallying the community one event at a time. We’re not just another group of dreamers—we’re a beacon of hope, fun, and untaught ideas, dedicated to showing the world that solutions to its biggest problems can be found right here among friends, food, and a dash of mystery. Entirely independent and powered by passionate community members, we’re paving the way to a future filled with abundance, education, and true freedom. We want to demonstrate how “food not lawns” can be implemented at every church, prison, school, park and community space.

Co-housing Unit For Sale in Portland Oregon

Light-filled 976 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 1-bath end unit in Columbia Ecovillage, Portland’sestablished cohousing community in the Cully neighborhood. With windows onthree sides, this ground-floor home gets natural light all day, even onPortland’s grey ones. The open living and dining area has warm hardwood floors and flows into akitchen with solid wood cabinets and granite counters. The dining roomwindows look straight into a native vine maple — a wall of green from springthrough fall. There’s good storagein the unit, plus an extra storage space in the community storage building.A ductless mini-split provides efficient heating and air conditioning, andthe plumbing was fully replaced in 2026. The primary bedroom has a full-width closet behind a sliding barn door; thesecond bedroom’s closet sits behind a pair of French doors. The thirdbedroom has no closet, which makes it a flexible room — guest room, office,or playroom. Step out the sliding glass door onto your own covered patio, which opens onto the community grounds: organic gardens, personal garden plots,greenhouses, a grape arbor, a bamboo grove, native plantings throughout, andtrees everywhere — including a truly massive old black walnut. The orchard alone is a reason to live here — to name a few:apples, pears, plums, figs, mulberries, chestnuts, walnuts, grapes,blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, in several varieties each. A75,000-gallon rainwater catchment system keeps it all watered through thesummer. Kids have a playhouse, sandbox, small soccer field, a favorite climbingtree, and a parking loop where bikes can circle but cars can’t; adults havea workshop, garden shed, fire pit, quiet space and big community porches. The common hall is the heart of the village: a commercial kitchen anyresident can use, a kids’ play area, pool table and ping pong, and asoapstone stove that burns every winter evening. Residents can reserve it forevents for almost nothing. The historic farmhouse has guest rooms owners canbook for visiting family (about 30 nights a year). Shared laundry rooms(three washers and dryers) come with indoor drying racks and outdoorclotheslines, and there’s a craft room and a trade room where things you nolonger need find a new home next door. Potlucks, communitymeals, work parties, and acres of safe space for kids to roam makethis a rare chance to own a home and a neighborhood at the same time. Built in 1973 and fully remodeled in 2008–09 for energy efficiency and healthy indoor air — metal roof, HardiePlank siding, and standard community-built finishes throughout. Nothing to update, nothing deferred. The $522 monthly HOA coverswater, sewer, and garbage, plus the roof, siding, exterior paint, and allstructural maintenance — and it’s what pays for the grounds, the common hall,and everything else described above. And it’s close in: Cully’s cafés andparks are a short walk or bike ride away, the rest of Portland’s food,music, and neighborhoods are minutes beyond that, and the commute downtownor to the airport is easy by car, bus, or bike – 3.7-acre grounds with organic gardens, personal plots, greenhouses, native plantings, and mature trees (huge black walnut)- Orchard: apples, pears, plums, figs, mulberries, chestnuts, walnuts, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries- 75,000-gallon rainwater catchment feeds the gardens year-round- Workshop, garden shed, fire pit, quiet space, community porches
