ECO Farm and Research Center, Susitinable living community

ECO Farm and Research Center stands as a sovereign, Indigenous‑owned model of sustainable living, ecological restoration, and cultural continuity. Rooted in the Woodland Band of Cherokee Indians and guided by ancestral knowledge, the community integrates organic agriculture, fruit and plant cultivation, renewable systems, and land‑based research to build a resilient future for Appalachian families and Indigenous descendants.

Every field, greenhouse, and research module reflects a commitment to regenerative farming, seed preservation, and the protection of Indigenous food ways. Our work blends traditional Cherokee ecological teachings with modern green‑tech innovation—creating a living classroom where sustainability is practiced, measured, and passed forward.

As a Native‑owned enterprise, ECO Farm and Research Center affirms the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people to steward land, cultivate life, and define sustainable community on our own terms. Through organic produce, heritage crops, woodland fruits, and plant‑based research, we are building a self‑reliant ecosystem that nourishes families, restores balance, and strengthens cultural identity.

ECO Farm and Research Center is more than a farm—it is a research center, a sustainable living community, and a legacy project dedicated to healing land, empowering people, and honoring the ancestral responsibility to protect the Earth for the next seven generations.

We are also building a sustainable living green community.
