Building healthy communities from the ground up.
Building from Below is a 501(c)3 dedicated to research, education, and practical experimentation to support the creation of sustainable, self-determining communities.
Our work is based on an organic farm and learning center where we build our vision for a democratic, egalitarian, and sustainable society by investigating the shifting social and ecological landscape and developing practicable alternative forms of organization such as worker cooperatives, agro-ecological cooperative farming, and youth educational programming.
Building from Below established Seedbed Community Farm as a community-supported sustainable farm and education center. Since 2017, we have been addressing the critical need for fresh, healthy food, as well as affordable land and housing. Our farm community is made up of CSA Members and non-Members.
