At Fruit Haven, we envision a worldwide network of decentralized, autonomous, fruitarian communities, operating in a sovereign manner, with a comfortable balance between the rights of individuals and the functioning of the community. Growing an abundance of our own fruits and vegetables, and eating a raw vegan diet will provide the physical backbone of superior health, while non-violent communication and consensus-based decision making processes will provide the organizational backbone of resilient and successful community. Through the use of permaculture methods to cultivation, we will help to restore the world’s ecosystems to their healthy natural state, while creating an example to guide others. Above all, we celebrate health, wholeness, and connection to nature in a community of conscious fruit-loving individuals.
We uphold and practice principles of permaculture, raw veganism, decentralization, and spiritual growth.
All newcomers participate in the 1-2 months volunteer program. After 2 months, volunteers may be invited to stay longer as a resident. After 6 months, residents are reviewed for membership.
