About Us

We are building a land-based learning community. Todd and Jordan Champagne have been working with local organic farms and teaching workshops and camps for 20 years now! They are creating space on their land to share skills with adults and children alike! We host workshops and summer camps where people learn all sorts of food preservation skills and how to live a holistic life. The work with children is to inspire them to build inner confidence, cultivate a love of cooking and knowledge of where their food comes from. To help them carve the space for mindfulness and introspection and of course - to have fun doing it all!!

We are striving to demonstrate that plants, animals and humans can live in harmony. A place that can be held for people and animals to heal and thrive.

By combining the philosophy of the bhakti tradition with principles of sustainable living, Bhakti Farms will be a place for people to learn and share and create a better world. If you want to be the change in the world then you need vision and examples and hope! We strive to create a  project will be a gathering space for people to learn and share skills to help one another live a compassionate and simple lifestyle that can encourage one to become their best self and then help others do the same!  Bhakti Farms will be a land-based platform to teach the practice of non-violence. Applying the principles of bhakti yoga, it is easy to understand how every living entity has a spirit soul and has equal worth from birth. Bhakti Farms will be a sanctuary for all living beings and a place to learn, heal and grow.

Bhakti farms will host workshops, summer camps and retreats for all people to experience the principles of bhakti in action. These will include cooking classes, kirtan (sacred hymns) and yoga events, philosophy meetings, and animal welfare interactions. The cooking classes will include teaching people the basic skills of growing their own food, cooking simple and healthful vegetarian meals, preserving the local harvest, and making cheese, yogurt and more. We will teach how to include the most important ingredient, which is love, into all one is practicing, whether it be gardening, caring for animals, or meditating. 

Bhakti Farms will teach by example, showing how to care for cows and other animals in an ahimsa way – by practicing non-violence and caring for all animals and their offspring in a loving way until they naturally meet the end of their lives.
