Ethos Center for Regenerative Living

Capital campaign progress…

Work has started on the Ethos Center for Regenerative Living

During our 2023 Farm Days event many of you supported the first phase of our Ethos Center for Regenerative Living capital campaign by purchasing a brick in your name. Your contributions have allowed us to begin work on the first phase of this amazing project.

The Ethos Center for Regenerative Living, situated in the middle of our 342-acre regenerative farm, surrounded by diverse and thriving ecosystems, woods, and wetlands will be a visionary and sustainable facility designed to serve as a hub for education and research, where our community can get together to learn about and take part in the practical implementation of regenerative principles to promote a harmonious relationship between humans and the environment. The Center will embody a holistic approach to living in balance with the natural world while addressing pressing ecological and social challenges. Our goals for the Center are:

  1. Education and Research:

    • Educate and inspire visitors about regenerative practices for human health, soil health and planetary health.

    • Utilize classrooms, a test kitchen, and interactive exhibits to teach regenerative farming, lifestyle medicine, and eco-conscious living.

    • Invite researchers, scholars, and students from various disciplines to collaborate on projects that will advance regenerative practices and address environmental and human health issues.

  2. Workshops and Events:

    • Host regular workshops, seminars, and conferences featuring experts in regenerative agriculture, whole food plant-based lifestyles, ecological restoration, and sustainable living practices.

    • Host community events, festivals, and farmers' markets to promote local engagement and awareness.

  3. Sustainability Initiatives:

    • Practicing what we preach, implementing regenerative land management, zero-waste policies.

    • Focus on the principles of the circular economy encouraging recycling, upcycling, and waste reduction.

  4. Outreach and Collaboration:

    • Actively collaborate with local communities, schools, and organizations to promote regenerative and whole food plant-based living

    • Partner with businesses and other like-minded organizations to ensure the replicability of the Ethos Farm to Health model.
