About
Childs Creek Farms is a land-based project rooted in permaculture principles, ecological stewardship, and community connection. The farm integrates food production with habitat restoration, emphasizing long-term soil health, biodiversity, and relationship to place.
Rather than operating as a conventional commercial farm, Childs Creek Farms functions as a living system — blending gardens, food forests, native plant restoration, and small-scale animal systems in ways that regenerate both land and people. The work here reflects a commitment to learning from natural patterns and designing with care for future generations.
Practices & Values
Childs Creek Farms centers its work around regenerative and relational approaches to land use, including:
- Permaculture design and whole-systems thinking
- Soil building and carbon-conscious land management
- Native plant restoration and habitat support
- Integrated plant and animal systems
- Community skill-sharing and seasonal gatherings
At its core, the farm prioritizes resilience — ecological, social, and cultural.
Community Role
Childs Creek Farms has served as a gathering place for shared meals, workshops, and informal learning. Through hands-on practice and relationship-building, the project contributes to a broader culture of mutual aid, land literacy, and place-based knowledge in the region.
Participation is shaped by seasons and capacity, with an emphasis on care, respect, and reciprocity.
