8.7 Acres, One Vision. We Are Building A Demonstration Project That Shows How To Create Truly Sustainable Community. Using Permaculture. Our idea is to: -Develop the overall biological health of the property, thereby increasing abundance and sustainable utilization of the land -Utilize the space for educational and demonstration purposes in accordance with our vision, mission, and goals -Create approaches and programs (Like Hipcamp!) to make the property economically self-supporting and capable of generating income for the CSC and for individuals working upon the property -Support the experience of community on the property by providing opportunities for meaningful relationships among those who work with the land and among those who visit the property for recreation, education, and meditation -Work to make the property inviting to the CSC participants, Stelle residents, and community visitors

Wild Plum Hedge Campsite

What a fun weekend for our family!! Plenty of grassy areas for our little one to run around and play. We loved the goats, exploring the garden, getting a tour of the farm, and learning about the history of the land. Bill and Heather are amazing hosts. We look forward to coming back!

Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin

The cabin was pristine as usual, full of nature's bounty and a perfect place for solitude and education. It is a return to our true self and a testament to sustainable life. This is beautiful land, meticulously preserved by the members of the CSC. Thanks again!

We enjoyed our weekend at the Earth Shelter. The site is very nice and the Earth Shelter is charming. We enjoyed the tour and learning about the CSC. Thank you.

Highly Recommend!

Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin

This was an epic camping spot! Bill and Heather were so kind and helpful upon arrival. I also highly suggest booking the tour of the grounds to learn about all the effort that went into cultivating the land and the way everything works together This is a great spot for anyone looking to get first hand experience with permaculture and away from the buzz and fast past of the city or just society in general. Also the stars were so bright! Saw 3 shooting stars while just star gazing during my stay.

Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin

My husband and I took our Grandsons (9, 7, 6) for a 1 night back to school trip and it was amazing. The cabin and site were perfect for us and being off-grid was exactly what we wanted. Upon arrival we received a box of fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden (we paid an extra 10.00 for this) which was great. The boys spent time exploring, fishing and playing with the goats. After dark we were able to see the perseid meteor shower, which was phenomenal. Bill gave us a tour of the farm which was so enjoyable for us and the kids. We highly recommend making a visit to this community and we can’t wait to go back, hopefully for a couple days next time.

Wild Plum Hedge Campsite

CSC’s land was a perfect getaway for my family of 5. Our kids loved running the mowed paths, feeding the goats, and visiting the pond. We learned so much on the permaculture tour. The best part of the trip was meeting welcoming, genuine people. We will be back!
