 The Raw Vegan Source store is actually just a part of a larger organization called New Earth Farm. Here at New Earth Farm, we are busy creating Heaven on Earth. We have converted half of our 1 acre property into a thriving permaculture garden.
Our gorgeous garden here at New Earth Farms produces beautiful, vital food that feeds us all for up to 10 months out of the year. That’s right, for 10 months out of the year we rarely visit the grocery store. The essence of permaculture is to intelligently create with nature so it does most of the work. After a few years of ground work, you can have a garden that grows enormous amounts of food without much effort required on your part. In the time it takes you to mow your lawn once a week, you could be feeding your family with vibrant food grown with love.
There is a big shift happening in our world right now – the days of manicured lawns are rapidly fading into history. We envision a massive movement sweeping the country, even the world, in which families convert their non-edible, chemically fertilized Kentucky Blue Grass lawns into abundant food-producing organic gardens. In our opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than a vibrant, nature friendly, bio-diverse garden anyway. We encourage you to sign up for one of our amazing permaculture courses and join us in creating the New Earth in your own backyard!
