Headwaters Garden & Learning Center

Cabot, Vermont,

United States

Headwaters Garden and Learning Center is built around a shared ethic of land stewardship, reverence for nature, mutual support and respect, and a sustainable life. We strive to build a resilient web of relationships between our community, ourselves, nature, and spirit. We want to cultivate food, energy, and our human spirit to honor all our relations, and thereby eliminate impoverishment and exploitative relationships with Earth and humanity.

Our shared work on the land, in our neighborhoods, and in our local and global community will build a healthy environment to support our children and grandchildren for many generations to come, and we aspire to make all our decisions with future generations, all beings and relations, peace, and justice in mind.

We have received a permit for seven homes, and two of the homes are now completed. It is a condominium form of ownership - people buy a home site, not a lot, and build their own house. We have a tiny house available to rent for people who want to try life with a smaller footprint or visit the village for a short time.
