Living Earth Center brings people of all traditions together to cultivate common ground and seek justice through education, encounter, and community agriculture.


Sharing Common Ground

Like a healthy ecosystem, we believe that everyone has something important and valuable to offer to our local and greater Earth community. We believe in bringing people with different backgrounds and strengths together to share common ground over food, learning and storytelling. We invite you to join us in celebrating nature's abundance and honoring our shared resilience and responsibility in the interconnection of everything.

Friends of the Living Earth,

Living Earth Center was founded on the values of bringing people from all backgrounds and traditions together to share common ground, grow food, and cultivate connection. During these times that feel vulnerable and uncertain, our adherence to those values remains steadfast and unwavering. We have always been and will always be a place where anyone can come, feel welcome, be empowered to grow good things and be united in common awe of the natural world.
