Drake Street Farm is a simple family homestead. We use our family homestead to promote the ideas that we care about: environmental sustainability, permaculture, regenerative education, community resilience and social change.
Through courses, workshops, gatherings and opportunities for people to connect, we hope to contribute in a small way to a more sustainable, equitable and regenerative future.
We welcome people who are interested in exploring new ways of living, learning, growing and working together.
