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.

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.
