Eternity Farm is a small, no-till, chemical-free, human-scale farm that grows vegetables and herbs. We are Korean and Jewish queer/women owned and operated. The farm is located on unceded Coast Salish land of so-called Camano, one hour north of unceded Duwamish land of so-called Seattle. Our mission is to nurture the web of life by ecologically farming fresh vegetables and building conscious relationships through them.
We occupy the unceded lands of the Snohomish as temporary stewards. We uplift Indigenous knowledge as the root source of what are called regenerative farming and permaculture practices. This nation is built upon the genocide and stolen land of the Indigenous and the enslavement of Africans, and continues with the exploitation of the working class globally.
Collective dialogue, organizing, and action is necessary to truly heal our communities and the earth.
~ The beautiful flower does not become empty when it fades and dies. It is already empty, in its essence. Looking deeply, we see that the flower is made of non-flower elements — light, space, clouds, earth, and consciousness. It is empty of a separate, independent self...a human being is not independent of other species, so to protect humans, we have to protect the non-human species. If we pollute the water and air, the vegetables and minerals, we destroy ourselves. We have to learn to see ourselves in things that we thought were outside of ourselves in order to dissolve false boundaries.
​
A flower is empty only of a separate self, but a flower is full of everything else. The whole cosmos can be seen, can be identified, can be touched, in one flower. So to say that the flower is empty of a separate self also means that the flower is full of the cosmos. It’s the same thing. So you are of the same nature as a flower: you are empty of a separate self, but you are full of the cosmos. You are as wonderful as the cosmos, you are a manifestation of the cosmos. ~
