Oliver Aurand

Founder Operations Lead

I’m Oliver and I love to help others create systems and lives more in harmony with the Earth and real community. Maybe you’ve also wondered what cultural change and having a regenerative society will really take? For over a decade, I have studied ecology, farming, anthropology, community building and systems thinking. I have worked on a variety of farms and taught classes in foraging, soil and regenerative technologies. I am excited to help create and learn together with you on this journey!

    Land Acknowledgement

    Given the relationship agriculture has with the land and the historical, cultural, and community implications of our relationships with the land we humbly give thanks to the past stewards of our land including the Hinono’eiteen (Arapaho), Núuchi-u (Ute), Newe (Shoshone), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne), Cáuigú (Kiowa) and numerous other tribal groups who lived and continue to live here so intimately. We hope we can continue in the spirit of life in Partnership with the Earth and be of service to these and other marginalized groups through our work.
