America's first monk-led devotional eco-village
Faith. Food. Farm. Future.
A place to grow food, protect cows, and serve with purpose — in the mountains of Tennessee.
Agriculture
Sacred agriculture. Ox-powered farming, cow protection, and permaculture — we work with nature, not against it, honoring the sacred relationship between humans and the land.
Cow protection, for life
Our cows are family, not commodities. They live out their full lives here — their milk, dung, and companionship anchor the farm, from field fertility to festival sweets.

Composting & soil building
Feeding the soil first. Compost, cover crops, and cow-based inputs rebuild living earth season after season.

Building
A different way to own a home. The conventional path — 30-year mortgages, mountains of debt, disconnection from the land — doesn't have to be your only option. Cob and natural building offer a real alternative for those willing to learn.
Structures in harmony with the environment
Cob, straw bale & reclaimed wood
Sustainable materials shape beautiful, energy-efficient homes and community buildings — non-toxic, breathable, and alive.

Harvesting the rain and reusing every drop — water systems designed with the whole landscape in mind.

The most complete natural building school in the world
We're starting with cob building workshops — but this is only the beginning. Our long-term vision is a complete, living curriculum of natural construction here at the eco-village.
Reserve your spotDevotion
This isn't a wellness retreat. We're building a sacred farm where devotional living meets regenerative agriculture — serving God through sacred work: growing food, protecting cows, and living simply.
Simple life, high thinking
Daily prayer, cow protection, and sacred service. We're not seeking enlightenment — we're serving God with every breath.
Live with monks who work the land
No alcohol. No intoxication. No Netflix. Just peace — intentional community with purpose.
Sacred work, every day
The field, the kitchen, and the temple are one practice. Work itself becomes the offering.
