We have diverse projects underway in our community of 50 households, temple, goshala, farms and school. Our greater community includes neighboring farms and aboriginal settlements. Some projects that need your help:
Ahimsa Goshala
There are opportunities to perform seva for Go Mata in a number of ways such as building barns, installing fencing, clearing land for pastures, purchasing winter hay, contributing to vet care, cleaning, milking, worshiping, and training. The salient point is that the cow is a sacred animal and that anything we do for her will benefit us and our families, both now and in the future. The ox are being trained on a yoke to pull a cart and farm instruments.
Vedic Eco Village

Daily hands-on Natural Building, Permaculture Farming, Building shelters, Cows and Ox care & Natural Fibers for Clothing. We are clearing the forest and building roads in the colony.

Neighbour Farms
Bhumi Farm
Bhumi Farm is an 'off-the-grid' farm working towards self-sufficiency and sustainability as taught by our guru, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He taught this culture of "simple living and high thinking" as a natural expression of the spiritual practice of Bhakti Yoga.
Blue Earth Forest Farm
Blue Earth Forest Farm is an off-grid forest farm. We use Permaculture and EcoForestry principles and welcome Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) from the local First Nations. We are regenerating and restoring the forest understory, edges and meadows to preserve top-soil integrity, maximize moisture holding capacity, and increase the fungal matrix while growing foods, medicines and building materials.
