China's Choices

Genesis Farm attempts to address the basic issues of our time in concert with other people. It was founded to make this land and its facilities available to all people of good will. Here we raise serious questions about the global crises and evoke the rich spiritual insights that are already within the hearts of all people. Genesis Farm focuses on the connections between the health and sustainability of Earth itself and the health of human communities as experienced in particular bioregions. Most importantly, we support individuals to become part of creating that health, both inwardly and outwardly.



Biologists, physicists and other scientists continue to adjust their perceptions of Earth as a living organism in its own right. Their writings make it ever more clear that human beings must alter their most basic perceptions about themselves and Earth; that the survival of the human species must be considered within the broader context of how nature is surviving, how the air, water, and soil nutrients are faring in their ancient but newly challenged cycles and patterns.



Genesis Farm is rooted in a belief that the Universe, Earth, and all reality are permeated by the presence and power of that ultimate Holy Mystery that has been so deeply and richly expressed in the world`s spiritual traditions. We try to ground our ecological and agricultural work in this deep belief. This Sacred Mystery, know by so many religious names, is the common thread in our efforts.
