| | At the Harbin EcoFarm, we are not just planting seeds in the soil, we are planting prayers, intentions, and a shared vision for a thriving future. This land holds the memory of the past, the nourishment of the present, and the promise of renewal. As we gather in community, we weave ourselves into the sacred cycle of giving and receiving, tending both the earth and our hearts. | | |
This winter, we prepared the land with care, sowing wildflowers and red clover to enrich the soil. We envisioned what is to come: a landscape brimming with abundance, sheltered by windbreak trees, nurtured by a greenhouse, and sustained by a flowing irrigation system. Every step forward is an act of devotion, a commitment to harmony with the land and all who walk upon it. Join us in our dream!
On March 27, we gathered for a Farm Party, not just as workers of the earth but as caretakers of a sacred space. Together, we pressed acorns and redbud seeds into the waiting soil, trusting in the mystery of growth. We stood in reverence, welcoming the directions, honoring the land, and offering our prayers for balance, protection, and renewal.

Under the open sky, we ate homemade organic cookies and warm tea, nourishing our bodies as the land nourishes us. Every hand that touched the earth, every voice that joined in prayer, became part of something great, a living, breathing cycle of reciprocity.
The gathering had to be cut short due to the spring showers that arrived unexpectedly. However, the time we spent tending to the land was well worth it. Everyone left the party with a warm sense of accomplishment, carrying with us a heartfelt vision of what lies ahead: a flourishing farm, embraced by love and a deep sense of harmony.

A heartfelt thank you to Lia Findley Jennings, Brenda Quintero, and Darina Simeonova for bringing this gathering to life. Your love and dedication are felt in every seed planted and every heart touched.
Let’s Keep Growing Together!
As the seasons turn, we invite you to continue this journey with us. Each gathering is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with the land, to plant not just trees but dreams, and to celebrate the sacred act of co-creation.
| | |
Together, we are the hands of the earth and the stewards of tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you at the next Farm Party, where we will continue to plant, pray, and grow, side by side, heart to heart, in service to the land and all that it sustains.
Donations are very much appreciated!
