It's Happening!...
Nelson Mandela cured the heart of a nation through the love of rugby, we have apple pie.
People are sharing shovels, feeding each other's chickens, and sharing land and crops grown. Fire circles are filled with new stories of planting, frustrations and the newly found awe of life all around them. Healthy trade is easing financial pressure while biodynamic farmers work making soil preparations, walking the fields together in their application, leaving the pollination to local bee guardians creating a bigger voice for themselves as they grow in numbers.
Take a class, come for a visit, or attend a local gathering to get a feel for the movement and then consult with us about our long-term Sustainable, Organic, Interdependent Living programs. Welcome to the land of apple pie...
The North Fork Valley hosts thirty square miles of farm country, Colorado's hub of organically grown food. This fertile bowl is the campus for SOIL Academy, including the towns of Paonia, Hotchkiss and Crawford, and extending throughout Delta County. It's working farmers are our instructors, it's community centers our meeting rooms and it's rural hospitality our dorm facilities. The unique connected way of life here is what SOIL Academy aims to maintain and strengthen while serving as a teaching center for others, ensuring healthy interdepence for all.
