Community Ecology Institute
In 2019, the Community Ecology Institute purchased a 6.4-acre organic farm in our hometown of Columbia, Maryland. We have protected this land from housing development and are restoring the farm using regenerative agriculture. We have created a vibrant place of common ground where diverse people come together to learn through hands-on experiences about how to lead happier, healthier, more connected and sustainable lives. At Freetown Farm, we care for the earth and for one another with a sense of hope and purpose for the future. Our land was part of the Underground Railroad and is now within Columbia, Maryland—a place explicitly founded by James Rouse to be “a garden for growing people where anyone—whatever their race, wealth or religious beliefs—could reach their full potential.”
