A model for community-supported agriculture, hands-on education, and land stewardship rooted in connection, service, and soil.

At the foot of the Rockies in Boulder, Colorado, something deeply human is growing. Dharma’s Garden is a living, breathing relationship between land, people, and purpose. It’s a place where the rhythm of life slows enough to notice the soil, the seasons, and the stories that emerge when people return to what is essential.

Rooted in Listening and Devotion

At the heart of Dharma’s Garden are Kerry and Tim Francis, who followed a call that wasn’t part of a grand plan. In 2015, they began by listening—to the land, to their community, and to something deeper within themselves. They committed to small, meaningful acts: building beds, planting seeds, hosting conversations. Their leadership comes not from perfection, but from steady presence and a deep commitment to serve.

Small Acts That Grow Legacy

Every element of Dharma’s Garden has been shaped by deliberate choices made with care. Over time, what began as a dream has become a sanctuary. When the land faced the threat of development, Kerry and Tim led a $4.5 million community effort to protect it. More than 640 families didn’t just give—they believed. The farm now stands as a symbol of collective action, trust, and possibility.

Teaching Through Connection

On this land, students, apprentices, elders, and neighbors gather to learn and contribute. Beyond growing food, they grow relationships—between generations, between strangers, between the human and the natural world. Dharma’s Garden is a classroom, a meeting place, and a space for remembrance. The work is real. The days are full. But what emerges is more than vegetables—it’s vitality, integrity, and joy.

A Return to What Matters

Through each decision—whether about seeds, soil, or people—Kerry and Tim lead with alignment and care. Dharma’s Garden invites us to remember what it feels like to live in right relationship with land, with one another, and with ourselves. It models a kind of leadership that nourishes rather than extracts, that builds rather than burns out.
