BIG 2026 plans to share our land & space this year.
if there's a week or month you’d like to spend on an authentic offgrid permaculture farm where every choice we make supports our resilience as humans & land stewards.  
​we delight in sharing this land, story & skills, and we especially love when you share your skills & story with us here at Woodland Harvest!!

Located in the
Southern Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina, Woodland Harvest Mountain Farm is a sacred rustic off-grid teaching & ​learning permaculture skills center where mutual aid, solidarity & abundant generosity thrive.

1. Care of Earth
We are ecological stewards and integrate care of the earth in farmstead projects. We work with the natural patterns, resources and limitations of the land, seasons and cycles.
We believe in healing the land and letting the land heal us. 

2. Care of People
Farmers are the best "healers"; we raise food and medicine in harmony. We create a safe space for emotional processing & a productive positive environment and strive to take good care of our selves, beloveds, volunteers, students, interns, neighbors, and communities.
We communicate with love, respect and collaboration in all our relationships.

3. Share the Abundance
We utilize surplus and on-site resources in growing our farmstead and in our offerings. Whenever possible we barter for materials or buy within our local community.
We grow all we can for our family, friends and animals, and continue to learn and discover the amazing biodiversity on this land and beyond. We integrate the foods and medicines of the forest into our daily diets and offerings and consider the best care for the people and the Earth in all our decisions. we host hundreds of folks each year to share skills, experience, & wisdom.

From each according to their abilities; to each according to their needs…
each one, teach one & diy experiential learning opportunities!!!
