Those words set us on a path forward on a new adventure. As we took steps towards what form this place might take to cultivate community in nature we quickly learned the combinations could be endless. How would we combine plants, food, outdoors, local artisans, experience, event, health, family, kids, retail, learning, home, garden all on one property and wrap it in tons of love and authenticity? How would our community receive what we came up with? (Heck, who would watch the kids)

While exploring these different paths and questions we grew and learned more about ourselves and what we might cultivate into the world. The journey became more the destination and we started accepting that in some ways this endeavor will always be in progress. We will always be growing in the pursuit. Beginning to accept this brings a certain peace that we don’t need to “have it all figured out.” We don’t of course, “have it all figured out.” That is ok, that is healthy.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We hope you will find your path to nature and community like a plant to sunlight. We hope the form we are discovering inspires you to water and cultivate yours. We hope for many more seasons for us all where the joy and challenge of the journey is filled with wonder. Whether the path is high or low we hope there is joy, peace, and growth in your steps. All the love.
