Our Farm Sanctuary & Sustainability Demonstration Hub

Vinton, Louisiana


At Habitat Recovery Project, our journey is one of stewardship and reverence for the land—a sacred duty to foster a harmonious sanctuary where nature's abundance thrives, and community spirit flourishes. We stand as custodians of this land, dedicated to showcasing and embodying sustainable practices that honor the interconnectedness of all life.

We strive to showcase and embrace cutting-edge methods, inviting collaboration and advancement in sustainable farming for a greener, more resilient future.

As a Certified Pollinator Sanctuary, recognized by the NY Bee Sanctuary, and a proud recipient of two awards from the National Wildlife Foundation, we pledge to nurture biodiversity and abstain from harmful pesticides and herbicides.

Enlisted in the USDA People's Garden program, we are committed to fostering public community gardens that not only beautify our surroundings but also sustain the well-being of those who call them home. Our role as the home base for the SWLA EcoLearners Nature School Program signifies our dedication to imparting environmental education and nurturing a deep appreciation for nature among both children and adults.

In collaboration with WWOOF, Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, we've mentored over 60 individuals from 10+ countries in the art of organic farming and holistic animal husbandry. Rooted in our nonprofit mission of community-focused conservation, we strive to restore, generate, and preserve wildlife habitats in contaminated communities, uplifting the people who reside within them.

At the core of our mission is a commitment to developing leaders who are not only knowledgeable about the environment but also deeply connected to it. Whether through recreational activities, educational programs, practical initiatives, or therapeutic experiences, we endeavor to create a profound and lasting relationship between humans of all ages and our precious natural resources.

Together, we plant the seeds of a sustainable tomorrow—a future where every interaction with the land is a sacred dance, enriching both the tapestry of nature and the human spirit.

“Whether through recreational activities, educational programs, practical initiatives, or therapeutic experiences, we endeavor to create a profound and lasting relationship between humans of all ages and our precious natural resources.”
