About the Happy Farm

The Happy Farm at Deer Park Monastery is a living expression of our love and respect for Mother Earth. Rooted in the principles of agroecology, it integrates regenerative and organic farming within our mindfulness practice community.

The farm is nurtured by three essential elements: mindfulness practice, organic farming, and community living. It serves as a living classroom where monastics, retreatants, neighbors, and volunteers can cultivate not only nourishing vegetables but also mindfulness, joy, and a sense of interconnectedness with the Earth.

Our vision is to cultivate a space where mindfulness intersects with sustainable agriculture, nourishing the well-being of individuals, society, and the planet.
