What we Do
Deep Dirt Farm is an authentic and beautiful model of resilience and regeneration that inspires an intimate relationship with place through education, artful practice and embodied skills.
Restore the Land
We demonstrate arid lands restoration and permaculture at our 34-acre campus, Deep Dirt Farm. A model for the future, we show what it looks like to live in healthy relationship with the natural world and regenerate the land, soil, water, and wildlife.
Restore Ourselves
We teach people how to grow healthy food, repurpose waste, design permaculture systems, and connect healthy ecosystems to healthy bodies. We reskill communities with permaculture skills and traditional/folk skills.
Reimagine the Future
We inspire and empower individuals to make a difference in their own communities. We give them the skills to face climate crisis with competence and resilience.
ABOUT US
Our Campus
Deep Dirt Farm is our 34-acre campus of rolling grasslands and mesquite bosques surrounded by mountains. The farm is bisected by an ephemeral stream, which is a wildlife corridor. Situated 1.5 miles from the charming, world-renowned birding community of Patagonia, AZ, the site is nestled into one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet: the Sky Islands region of the Southwest U.S.
