The Grove at Freedom Village

From Learning to Earning to Ownership.

The Grove at Freedom Village is I Am Green’s developing living classroom in Hancock County, Georgia. It brings regenerative agriculture, sustainable housing, hands-on learning, and cooperative economic development together.

The goal: turn learning into practical skills, shared opportunity, and a path toward community ownership. Camp & Learns connect that vision with hands-on activity, alongside I Am Green’s workforce, preparedness, literacy, and food-growing initiatives.

We’re inviting prospective partners and supporters to explore the plan and discuss their role in its next phase. Read the overview, watch the presentation, and start a conversation.

Developing project. Scope, costs and funding terms remain under review.

A living classroom. A developing model.

The Grove is I Am Green’s rural demonstration site in Freedom Village, Hancock County, Georgia. It brings regenerative agriculture, sustainable housing, hands-on education, and cooperative economic development together.

This is a developing model: a place to demonstrate practical systems that communities can learn from and adapt in other rural places.

THE GROVE PLAN

Learn. Grow. Build. Own.

Regenerate the land.

Connect food growing and regenerative agriculture with care for the places that sustain us.

Learn through practice.

Bring sustainable housing and hands-on education into a living classroom.

CAMP & LEARNS AT THE GROVE

Getting the living classroom started.
