Cultivate our riches and share the wealth
Isn’t the natural beauty of our region absolutely stunning? The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountain range on the planet. They are home to many beautiful creatures, some mighty rich soils and wise old plants. The Wisdom of the land is Sacred and healing. Western North Carolina is a repository of deep ancient traditional knowledge amid immense beauty. We are so lucky to be living in this magical kingdom. What a blessing it is to be surrounded by such Magesty.
Ever marvel over how everything in Nature is diversely grouped, interconnected and communicating all at once? It is so cool that you can see a plant, and then by that plants very presence, you can know what animals, birds and other plants will be there too. Collectively they radiate a specific kind of energy. Each and every forest has a different energetic signature, just like you can feel with groups of people. You can tell the health and power of a community by its radiant energy, you can sense the sheer force of its Being. It is a wordless communion greater than the sum of its parts.
When you look around at our community at the Coop, we see people who are committed, passionate and caring. We are defined as being a part of a larger system and the energy speaks for itself. Whether our passion is focused on buying local produce, encouraging sustainable farming, eating pure foods or promoting organic stewardship of the soils, we honor our connection to the land in many ways. Many folks practice recycling, composting, or vermiculture; they enjoy learning to grow mushrooms, raising chickens, buying these products or gardening. These skills weave us intricately within the web of life. We feel our value tangibly in this grand evolving wealth of life sustaining practices. This is how we create true richness.
