Welcome! We're so glad you're here!
Since our family became the stewards of this land in 1977, it’s been a place where people have come to connect with nature, build community, take refuge, and find healing. It hasn’t all been perfect, it hasn’t all been easy, but here we are in 2023 continuing to try our best, show up for the work, and be here for the healing.
Harvest Gathering is built and held by so many hands and hearts that care. We are so grateful to be a part of this circle that grows and shows us our shared humanity. This weekend’s offerings are for you all. May it be nourishing. It’s never too late to take back the future.
—The Bernard Family
