There&#8217;s a completely different vibe when you step on the grounds. \u00a0Every Saturday at 10 am, they invite everyone and anyone to the land to come take a tour, help out, plant your own garden space among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Added bonus: They make some of the most awesome pizza I have ever had. Which is saying a lot since <em>i&#8217;m a retired Chef.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I encourage you to go check it out if you&#8217;re able, I could write a number of things about how peaceful this place is and how there&#8217;s no ego&#8217;s, just a like minded group of people who all have a common goal.<\/p>\n<p>As an added bonus, you might get to hang out with Bear the dog!
