Sustainable Farming

Welcome to ISKCON of Escondido Farming Community

At ISKCON of Escondido, we’re more than just a farming community; we’re a way of life that combines ancient wisdom with modern sustainability practices. Our journey began with a vision to create a haven where the principles of self-sufficiency and sustainable farming could thrive. Our farm is a vibrant testament to teachings that emphasize harmony between people, animals, & nature.

Our farm, nestled in the serene landscapes of Escondido, California, is where we cultivate not only crops but also a sense of oneness with nature. We embrace permaculture, organic farming, and eco-friendly living, ensuring that every aspect of our work resonates with the planet’s well-being. Our practices respect the environment, promote biodiversity, and honor the principles of non-violence (ahimsa).

With a deep-rooted commitment to self-sufficiency, our community fosters an environment where we strive to produce as much of our own food and resources as possible. Our cows are cherished members of our family, providing not only milk but also power for our traditional farming methods.

Join us on this incredible journey towards a more sustainable and harmonious future. Volunteer opportunities include soil improvement (composting, mulching), biodiversity conservation (maintaining native plants and wildlife), education & outreach, & organic farming. Please reach out to us for volunteer & learning opportunities at farming@iskconofescondido.org.
