Sustainability
Farm A Gift for Nature, Mankind and The Divine Love is a mysterious and powerful force. For more 30 years it has moved Candace and Loren Stolley to create a unique gift of their all to nature, mankind, and the Divine. In 1979 the heart inspiration came to the Stolleys to create Dandelion Sustainability Farm from their years of self sufficiency experience, making it a profound gift of service to the Heart of Existence Itself of their energy and resources, of all they had and could do. Miraculously the funds to purchase l90 acres of pristine land in Northern California came and the work began. Fresh air, high clean water table, deep rich farmland and wooded rolling hills made the land a prime location. With seasonal creeks, beautiful views and miles of hiking trails, Dandelion Farm is a spacious, peaceful place. Dandelion Farm Sustainable Living Institute a non profit foundation, is nearing completion of its facilities intended, through demonstration to provide education in all forms of sustainable living while also including cultural arts to bring this higher dimension to sustainability. Dandelion Farm supports all spiritual, religious and human growth with tolerance as its service to humanity to go beyond such differences as an excuse to war in our time. Classes will eventually include permaculture, natural building, natural energies, natural healing modalities, whole food health cooking, cutting edge green thinking for the planet, performing arts and other visual arts, as well as spiritual and other practices to deepen self understanding and relational skills. Dandelion will host seminars, retreats, and educational tours, along with its present/on going volunteer work/ exchange/ education program. Much of the beautiful land remains undisturbed as a natural wildlife habitat. Established on Dandelion are ponds and water systems, organic gardens, orchards, housing for 20+ people, workshop, barns, a huge green house, alternative energies, and much more. Wildlife abound, National Wildlife Federation certified as a wildlife habitat. Dandelion is in a trust for Adidam and soon a land trust also. Key role of ART in Sustainability on Dandelion: Beauty speaks to the human heart. It inspires, heals and uplifts. Our use of beautification on Dandelion Farm is specifically to do this. It is a call to the heart of humanity in its range of possibilities from high to low. It is an inspiring heart call to make higher choices, sustainable choices, for the sake of humanity and for its host, planet earth. Many
wonderful people spend time helping with farm projects such as organic
gardening, natural building, landscaping, art works, etc., in exchange
for their stay on Dandelion. This is a rich human sharing and educational
experience for all. Perhaps you could join us for a 2 week or longer volunteer
stay, sharing your skills, energy and enthusiasm or consider other means
of furthering this service project. nfo@dandelionfarm.org '08
