There are regular meetings and discussions, as well as worship services. The land consists of 80 acres of pasture land, cleared land, and forest. Goats and chickens are kept for food products. Members have their own kitchen gardens and there is a young orchard which produces apples for home use, but the land is not good for raising larger crops. The structures have been built by members and guests and the donated services of architects and construction crews.
All structures are the property of Earth Abides.
In 1983 the land was deeded to Earth Abides Land Trust, which has continued with the work. The land is located in the Township of Sheep Ranch in Calaveras County, California. Every summer since 1987 we have had a summer Program for Developmentally Disabled adults. This activity would be similar to the Summer Program described above but the activities would be more spiritually nurturing. The volunteers who live here will do meal preparation , housekeeping, and accompaniment of the guests.
