We run a small CSA, established in 1995. Interns assist with the garden, livestock, apiary and reforestation project. You will live upstairs in the barn, in the camper, or in your own tent. We can pick you up from the train station in Lapeer or the bus /airport in Flint. We grow much of what we eat and strive to eat most of what we grow. We recently put a tipi on the land and have some natural building projects planned.
