We are a non-profit homestead and school for sustainable living. Our primary focus is to educate others and to preserve the natural beauty of our land. Through story telling, summer camp programs, tours, and classes for both adult and children, we have been able to keep our cultural history alive while teaching back-to-basic skills for a sustainable future based on self-reliance.

Coweeta Heritage Center and Talking Rock Farm are located in the mountains of Western North Carolina in a beautiful and diverse temperate rainforest.  Coweeta is looking for others who would like to join together to form an Intentional Community embracing the principles of Voluntary Simplicity.  Simply put, we wish “to live simply so that others may simply live.”  It is a recognition that nature provides us with valuable services and resources that we can use to enrich our lives.  Utilizing local resources, appropriate technology, and working cooperatively, we can discover creative ways to meet our needs as “directly and simply as possible.”.  Come join Coweeta and learn how to live lightly on the land and enjoy the Earth’s bounty!  Contact Coweeta for more info or to schedule a visit!!
