Help Sustain the farm
It costs about a dollar a goat per day to feed hay. We’ve currently got 12, with 6 due to kid in spring.
$20 buys chicken feed for 10 days.
$60 gets Bandit’s dog food for the month.
Every little bit of sustaining support let’s us breathe easier and care for ourselves, the land, and our animals.
Ezili’s Respite emphasizes human and ecological health in all of their farm systems. Their farming practices are thoughtfully adopted, gently mimicking or working within the bounds of the ecosystem. They work to prepare their land for grazing and vegetable production with a critical eye toward the impacts of their disturbance, choosing to grow their own fertility, grazing through the varied ecosystems across their landscape, and building systems that are gentle to their bodies and thoughtful of their time. I find with beginning farmers, this is the stage that these values go to the wayside, opting for yields, inputs, and maximizing revenue. But Khonsu and Titan stay true to their beliefs, that their farm is a place of biodiversity and whole-system health, that their land is a place of gathering together to heal and share and connect.
“Being on the land there, always feels really welcoming and familiar. The way they tend to this land, is like they were born on this land, and as an indigenous woman, it’s a good feeling to meet farming folks that truly see the land as a living relative that is deserving of nurturing, love, and protection.
