If you're interested in learning how you can more deeply participate in or support our mission of building community sovereignty and stewarding abused land, you can find options for in-person or financial participation on our website:

https://rancholibertad.com/participate

We just opened our Supporter tier, and look forward to offering more opportunities to support locally and from afar in August. Those who subscribe at the Supporter tier receive a twice yearly gift basket of goodies from the Ranch (the first will be sent in December) as well as access to participate in quarterly Q&A posts.

You will also know (perhaps most importantly) that you are tangibly supporting projects that enable us to better serve residents (now and in the future), guests seeking sanctuary, and the land. Projects such as tree planting, renewable energy infrastructure, sustainable building, animal stewardship, sustainable and place-sensible food production, and more.

We are so grateful to you for your interest and collaboration ✨

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say

Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

Bringing in Spring, despite higher than average temperatures, we've made significant progress.

Provider green beans, potatoes, butternut squash, loofa plants, yellow clover, johnsongrass and native grasses are all growing quite well, and I'm optimistic we may have something to harvest at the end of the season.

The chicks we brooded are thriving, and happy, shaded by our biggest mesquite tree.

Bats hang out in the evenings, as does a single owl occasionally.

It's a lot of work, but it feels hopeful.

Hello from post-Equinox heat wave here in the sacred Mojave.

We see with the return of the sun also the return of young tree leaves, bees, dragonflies, and so much more. The cover crops I failed to grow last year are sprouting en masse in newly finished infiltration basins, irrigated with greywater from the communal house, and I've even seen mushrooms that I've inoculated into straw beds fruit after rains. So much of this feels like hope. Our young chickens are enjoying their first unsupervised forays into their little fenced run (until they're big enough to trust foraging), and we saw our first Great Horned Owl a few weeks ago.

Our website is live, and I hope you'll join us if you haven't already. We're releasing our first newsletter Monday, trying to put to digital paper Equinox contemplations, and bring you along on this journey with us.

It's free, and we appreciate your support.

We are also trying to get a few trees in the ground before it gets too hot. If you feel up to monetary support to help us with purchasing saplings, we don't have our own ko-fi or paid tiers of the newsletter offering, yet, but we can accept donations (or purchases that support the ranch) through Siin's ko-fi:

We appreciate & love you all, being to being. Stay safe out there.

Hello!

My name is Siin, one of the stewards of Rancho de la Libertad, a pioneering regenerative agricultural project in the Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree, California.

Our mission is to steward and regenerate this once flourishing arid grassland, since abused by extractive settler actions and completely desertified. We feel passionate that engaging thoughtfully with our existing ecosystems is one of the primary ways we can take meaningful direct action against climate change.

It is also important to recognize that climate change is happening, and so our secondary mission is the creation of a sovereign community providing food, energy, housing, and teaching and engaging in mutual trade relationships with other community members. We cannot exist alone through inevitable shifts in our climate & political situations, but we also cannot afford to outsource any longer our action and energy to solutions that are not rooted in the Here and Now of our own ecosystems. We abide by the tenet of "shrinking our world", rigorously focusing our energy in place, and therefore expanding greatly our impact on the land and our community.

Rancho de la Libertad is a place for humans to come and detach from the reactionary and often exhausting world we live in, to touch the earth and hear its hatmonies, and to thoughtfully utilize their curiosity in a secure, supportive communal environment.

I will be posting updates regarding our regenerative work, and I'm sure some commentary related to climate activism and the general State of Things. If that sounds appealing to you, give us a follow! Feel free to reach out anytime to chat or ask questions if that feels right. We are not experts. We are here to learn as much as to share, and welcome feedback and thoughts on what we're doing here.

Thanks for having us!
