The Jubilee
The Vision
My name is Eve Fischer and I'm the current steward of 53 acres of beautifully fertile mountainside land in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. My vision is to create a multi-generational community of five to ten families, including an educational hub and retreat center anchored around the values of permaculture, attachment parenting, child-led learning, relational practice and spirituality. I believe in the possibility of a beautiful future, most importantly for our children. It's my dream to live in close connection with those who share this belief and are committed to living into it.
In ancient tradition, the jubilee was a celebration of homecoming, freedom and amnesty. To me, it means we come here to return ourselves to right-relationship with the land and each other. Here, we celebrate daily, into the future we are creating.
Our Location
Nestled in the heart of the mountains about fifteen miles south of the Canadian border, The Jubilee is home to countless songbirds, over seventy mature apple trees that dot the park-like landscape, beautiful wildflowers, three abundant fresh water springs, several stands of sugar maple and a cold year-round brook. Our gardens grow abundantly on twenty acres of cleared meadow and we are in the beginning phases of implementing permaculture designs that will expand our food production and self-sufficiency.
Our Offerings
Friends come from near and far for the potlucks, pop-up events, music jams, saunas and poetry circles. Our potlucks have become a culture of their own, inspiring what people say are some of the best meals they've ever had! Guests stay in our Airbnb glamping set up, complete with several cabin size canvas tents with real queen size beds. We have a hilltop lounge with panoramic views from comfortable sofas and from the clawfoot bathtub in the well-appointed bathroom, a wood-fired sauna and a private massage tent. Our rustic spa has earned many 5 star reviews and is a strong start towards the creation of our retreat center.
Where we are in the Process
We are currently researching our legal structure options for membership, ownership and engagement while creating our phased plans for site development. If you have relevant skills in community building and are interested in being involved in this founding phase, we'd love to hear from you!
