Building from Below

Who we are

Building from Below is 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. To cultivate that vision we investigate the shifting social and ecological landscape and develop practicable alternative forms of organization such as worker cooperatives, regenerative cooperative farming, and youth educational programming.
