The Refuge
The Refuge at Stone Bowl Farm
A residential community of artists, healers, spiritual practitioners, gardeners, makers, and builders creating a thriving, resilient, interdependent cohort that supports growth, spirituality, wellness and creativity.
Stone Bowl Farm offers live/work space for those who want to live in a rural community, working and creating together, while contributing to the Farm and it’s offerings. Based on the concepts of Ayni (reciprocity) and the ethos of the farm, residents at the Refuge are building interdependent lives on the land by sharing resources, skills, talents and labor. Your commitment, passion, contribution, and ethics are of utmost importance. While community life is at the center, you are also free to develop interests and work off the farm.
Currently, there is space for up to 5 tiny homes, campers, vans, or tents from May-October. There is no existing housing available except for a small bell tent, for an additional fee. All residents have access to all facilities and a communal kitchen.
WHEN
The Refuge is open from May 1- November 1. You may choose to stay for one month periods or the full season. If you have a self-contained tiny home or camper and wish to stay longer, we can discuss those arrangements after a trial period. Some winter housing may be available.
