Welcome to
Moon Shadow Forest Sanctuary

exploring our soil & 

the living Community

She was a single mom, barely making ends meet, and I knew her. So I stood beside her and said, "What if you could make a huge impact with two small acts, would you?"
 
She looked at me curiously, so I continued, "What if you could provide some food for your table, reducing your grocery bill a bit, and provide wildlife support at the same time .. with just two simple acts that will cost you almost nothing." Now she laughed, and I had her attention.
 
"That's what Moon Shadow can help you do. It's a nonprofit that gives you the opportunity to grow some food of your own, in your yard, that your kids can help with by planting the seeds. And there's hardly any effort on your part. Put out some hay, sprinkle some seeds, add some water and watch the magic happen. Kids have fun. You have fun. The pollinators have food and refuge, so they have fun. A bit later, Ta~DAAH! Fresh, homegrown food for your table. That's a success in my book, no matter how you slice it. We even throw in the hay and some seeds for free. Interested?"

It was an emphatic yes from her.

Our offices and 'classrooms' on the land are temporarily closed because, like little seeds just planted, they are in the process of becoming.


Check back here often to see our latest changes and you can help us open our gates sooner with a kind donation.

With love,
Moon Shadow
