Anathoth Community Farm

When Barb and I started Anathoth in 1986 the work we were engaged in was mostly non violent direct action opposing war and empire. We were building infrastructure, raising children, and creating community. Twenty years later, after reading Omnivore's Dilemma and running into Allan Savory and Gabe Brown our "hands on" energy expenditure shifted from war to climate. Nuclear war may be our undoing if it spins out of control but industrial degradation has unleashed a slow motion equivalent.    Agro-ecological practices became the means for us to engage in Sacramental Agriculture: discovering the divine intent behind the Circle of Life. Using fairly simple technology we can engage in biomimicry restoring fertility, hydrologic cycles, food production, sustainability,  and peaceful coexistence. Humans are not in charge. We exist by the mercy of plants and microscopic organisms working together to sustain life on our water planet. Take some time to get to know and appreciate them.
