Chicory Farms Refuge :: a self-sustaining, permaculture village that provides women with the time and space to develop individually, artistically, intellectually and communally. A living-application of Permaculture, Feminism and Anarchism, CFR is a safe and supportive space for independent study (play and exploration, connection and discussion) while cultivating self-reliance and community interdependence.

3. “[Mary Astelle] proposed the founding
of a boarding school and home for
women which would also serve as a
refuge… She encouraged women to
think for themselves and to pay less
attention to the judgment of others
than to their own common sense.”
—Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Feminist Consciousness
