WILD ABUNDANCE
Land Access Collective

A small, membership-based model granting frequent, seasonal Land access for ethical harvest, observation, and quiet connection during the growing season

Harvest wild edible, medicinal and craft plants. Ethical and sustainable harvesting is at the heart of this land-access offering.

Get-to-know-the-land support includes weekly/bi-weekly fb posts and occasional emails highlighting what's in season and ready for harvest.

Enjoy a quiet, respectful environment for personal practice and observation.

Get access to both wild stands and our 300+ cultivated elder plants (flowers and berries).

Attunement with Rhythms of the Seasons

A stewardship-based access model:

This membership is an invitation into an ongoing relationship with a living landscape.

We're offering seasonal access to Land where members can observe, wander, and ethically harvest from wild spaces within established guidelines.

It is designed for herbalists, foragers, land-based practitioners, and those who feel called to deepen their connection with place over time. Small artisan producers are welcome as well!

About this Land

Four-decades long history of holistic land-tending...

Jason and Tasha have been tending to this land for 10 years. They operated a small veggie and herb farm for 8 years, using strict organic and regenerative practices. While no longer actively farming, they still tend to many herb and food perennial plantings.

The couple before us, owners of Turnstone Farm, utilized organic practices along with rotational grazing for the variety of animals they raised, including chickens, pigs and sheep.

The previous owners, Paul and Laura, acquired the property in the 1980's. They too practiced organic methods of land management as they established a variety of gardens (fruit, vegetables, and flowers) for their u-pick operation.

Our Lands have been organically tended for four decades and include unregistered wetland, cropland/gardens and forest. There is both great abundance and diversity here.

Land Ethics & Harvesting

Harvesting from our Land is guided by:

Reciprocity
Ecological sustainability
Regeneration capacity of each species
Seasonal abundance
Shared access among members

Harvest limits may shift throughout the season based on Land conditions, plant health and usage patterns.

Specific harvest limits, rest periods, and plant protections are communicated throughout the season.

View our Harvest Agreement here (coming soon) for more information regarding per-visit harvest guidelines, plant part and root harvesting guidelines, and measures regarding harvest tool cleanliness to prevent spread of jumping worms, pests and diseases.

Wild vs. Cultivated

Wild Abundance Land Access Distinction:

Membership includes access to and harvesting of wild plants. A Plant Species List will be provided and will be kept up-to-date throughout the season.

We are also including member access to / harvesting of our cultivated stand of 300+ elder plants (flower and berry) this year.

All other garden beds and production areas are not part of member harvest access.

Who this is for

This may be a good fit for people who:

Want access to organic Land with known history, especially as it relates to the safe consumption of wild plants as food and medicine.

Are an herbalist, forager, gardener or homesteader looking for access to safe and nutritious wild food and medicine plants.
