In upholding its values, Living Earth Center fulfills its mission by connecting with people and the community in the following ways:
-
Located on the former School Sisters of Notre Dame farm site, the Living Earth Garden provides a beautiful organic space where neighbors and family can gather, grow food, and nurture a self-sufficient, empowered community. We are proud to bring residents together in a sense of belonging and common ground.
-
In 2021, Living Earth Center took over the management of the Blue Earth County Community Farm in partnership with Blue Earth County. It is also home to our Emerging Growers Program, allowing people who do not have access to land to grow crops that are donated or sold in the local food economy.
-
Living Earth Center provides opportunities where minds can be opened, ideas can be shared, and growth can take place through series of workshops, events, and conferences offered throughout the year. Honoring all spiritual traditions and paths, Living Earth Center also holds gatherings to honor seasonal transitions with ritual and reflection.
-
Living Earth Center provides a lending library of books, videos, and DVD’s on subjects ranging from earth spirituality to organic gardening and food preservation. Canning and food preservation equipment can also be rented free of charge.
-
Living Earth Center’s Community Garden and a three season restored historic barn provide a relaxing space available for meetings, presentations and workshops. If you are interested in renting out the barn space for a gathering or meeting, please call 507-389-4272 or email info@livingearthcentermn.org.
