EarthDance is a unique social enterprise model, bringing the synergy of local activists, artists, business owners,  dancers, educators, event planners, farm apprentices, local residents, organization leaders, musicians, and youth together to create a fully sustaining community farm. 

EarthDance is a community and culture catalyst - We envision farms that not only grow food and flowers, but also the arts, relationships, and music ... sustainably!

PESTO FESTO
Saturday November 7th, 2009
6:30 - 10:00 pm

at the Savoy in Ferguson

Many thanks to everyone who sponsored, donated to, volunteered at, and attended Pesto Festo 2 & The EarthDance Mission Awards on Saturday, November 7th! The event was a tremendous success! Watch videos about this year's EarthDance Mission Awardees here.

Congratulations to our 2009 Class of Freshman Farmies!

Our inaugural group of farm apprentices graduated from the first year of the program at this year's Pesto Festo. Several of them will continue their commitment to organic farming education with a second year in the EarthDance apprenticeship program, some of them will begin or continue their own farming enterprises, and some of them are exploring other careers related to the good food movement. In the months ahead, we'll profile many of them on our website to let you know what they're up to now!

But we have only begun
to love the earth.

We have only begun
to imagine the fullness of life.

How could we tire of hope?
-- so much is in bud.

How can desire fail?
-- we have only begun

to imagine justice and mercy,
only begun to envision

how it might be
to live as siblings with beast and flower,
not as oppressors.

We have only begun to know
the power that is in us if we would join
our solitudes in the communion of struggle.

So much is unfolding that must
complete its gesture,

so much is in bud.
