Teaching by example

By combining the philosophy of the Bhakti tradition with principles of sustainable living, Bhakti Farms is a place for people to learn and share and create a better world. If you want to be the change in the world then you need vision and examples and hope! We strive to create a project that will be a gathering space for people to learn and share skills to help one another live a compassionate and simple lifestyle that can encourage one to become their best self and then help others do the same!

Bhakti Farms is a land-based platform to teach the practice of non-violence and to set an example of how to run a land-based project. Applying the principles of bhakti yoga, it is easy to understand how every living entity has a spirit soul and has equal worth from birth. Bhakti Farms is a sanctuary for all living beings and a place to learn, heal and grow.

BRINGING VISION TO REALITY

In the future

Bhakti farms will host workshops, summer camps and retreats for all people to experience the principles of bhakti in action. These will include cooking classes, kirtan (sacred hymns) and yoga events, philosophy meetings, and animal welfare interactions. The cooking classes will include teaching people the basic skills of growing their own food, cooking simple and healthful vegetarian meals, preserving the local harvest, and making cheese, yogurt and more. We will teach how to include the most important ingredient, which is love, into all one is practicing, whether it be gardening, cooking, caring for animals, or meditating.

Bhakti Farms will teach by example, showing how to care for cows and other animals in an ahimsa way – by practicing non-violence and caring for all animals and their offspring in a loving way until they naturally meet the end of their lives.

Support the mission

We have built a lot of infrastructure already, but have a long way to go. We have done road improvements, put in a cement pad and a barn, extended plumbing and electric, purchased dairy equipment. Now we are finally ready to get the cows! We are getting two lovely cows from a local dairy and we will take care of them and all of their offspring for all of their lives!  They are going to love it on this land which has lots of grass, fresh water, shade trees and a lot of love. We need sponsors to help purchase the cows and their feed and other requirements for care. Please consider donating to help us reach this goal of caring for the cows this year. We will supply ISV with milk for the temple and members.
