WILDSEED [wahyld-seed] noun

1) untamed, de-domesticated vessels of life’s potency. The blueprint for unhindered lineages of liberation contained in each of us. Fertile ground on which to plant our wildest dreams.

2) an emerging Black and Brown-led, feminine-centered, queer-loving, earth-based intentional community, organic farm, healing sanctuary, and political and creative home forming on 181 acres in Millerton, NY, 2 hours north of NYC.

About

WILDSEED Community Farm & Healing Village is a space to actively experience the change we devote our lives to, with each other as co-creators of our present reality. We are descendants of legacies of deep division and trauma, and devote ourselves to cultivating collaborative, reciprocal relationships with each other and this magnificent land as a mechanism of resilience, agency, and intergenerational accountability.

Surrounded by mountains and adjacent to a state forest, WILDSEED sits on an aquifer, has a river running through it, vast wetlands, an apple orchard, 3 ponds, 2 houses, a barn and massive garage, 3 fireplaces, sauna and pool, and 40 farmable and buildable acres. We are committed to stewarding this incredible resource as a permanent safe space for the sustenance and strength of People Of Color, Queer and trans folks, those impacted by the criminal (in)justice system, and other communities on the frontlines of ecological disruption.

We are guided by the following core principles:

1. Embodying the World We Dream Of
2. Healing Present and Ancestral Trauma
3. Confronting Institutional, Interpersonal, and Internalized Oppression
4. Ecological Guidance & Reverence for the Earth
5. Dignity & Self Determination
6. Communal Intimacy & Interdependence
7. Radical Imagination & Courageous Artistry
8. Liberatory Economics
9. Transformative & Restorative Justice
10. Accessibility & Inclusivity
11. Movement Building & Education
12. Intergenerational Responsibility
