buy our farm products

The Bioreserve produces nursery stock and field grown xmas trees for sale to the public to help fundraising for our educational activities. We also produce food crops mostly for the community but we expect to eventually produce more than we consume.

book an overnight farm stay on our waterfall

Our modest guest house on our waterfall is available for farm stays. Guests are invited to participate in daytime educational activities on the farm. We limit the amount of tourists on the farm to maintain the amazing contemplative environment the farm provides.

volunteer on the farm

We welcome volunteers from all over the world. Whether you come to us through WWooF or as a direct volunteer or as a longer term resident, you are part of a vibrant community dedicated to regenerate the land and the spirit.

“We must make the adoption of regenerative agriculture available for all farmers from all backgrounds…we must educate not only farmers and ranchers but all society as to these concepts which are rooted in indigenous knowledge. It is not just about emission reductions. .”
