The name "Quail Springs" comes from the spring that offers this arid landscape its life-giving vitality for the growing of trees, myriad plant life, the husbandry of animals and the caretaking and visitation of people.   The caretakers here at the farm offer year round stewardship of the land in a journey of honoring the gifts it has to offer in teaching us about what sustains us, the patterns of nature in the world around us and within us, and the journey of reclaiming culture through relationship with land and one another.

This project innovatively brings together the many facets of ecological restoration, vitality stewardship, natural building, alternative energy production, energy-order awareness, no-tillage soil building agriculture, ecologically sustaining aquaculture, and thoughtful actions that honor the vitality of the land for many generations to come.

Quail Springs focuses its efforts on soil building, tree planting, natural building research and development, service learning opportunities, permaculture design application and training, and the development of a sustainable farm and nursery.

Quail Springs is a non-profit organization that consists of a diverse community collaboration that is sustains itself through a variety of support systems.   These systems consist of thousands of volunteer hours, personal and business donations, foundation grants, program proceeds, farm business revenues, Trees for Children gift and memorial program, and the occasional anonymous and unexpected acts of generosity.
