The new non-profit organization at Peaceful Belly Farm
polum bolum
Our mission is to develop and advance earth-aligned culture in the Sunny Slope region of Southwestern Idaho. With a mind towards relational repair, especially between human and more than human worlds, we bring storytelling, community events and a residency at the historic Huston Mercantile, together with earth-centered education at the region’s beloved Peaceful Belly Farm.
Our vision is to live in a community committed to reconnecting with and deepening into earthbound meaning; where together we notice, celebrate, mourn, and learn from our collective entanglements with the more-than-human world. Through co-creating and sharing stories, meals, skills, tools, and ways of being, we take the next steps needed to create a foundation for future generations to remember and celebrate their place in the greater relational web.
You will be invited to classes, festivals, workshops, and feasts this season. We invite you to get your hands dirty and grow food for your family and food for all of life’s creations in our fields. We will laugh, dance, create, and make beauty together. Sign up for our Newsletter below and please consider donating so we can make these events free and affordable to our community. Contact us at community@polumbolum.org for opportunities to make a tax-deductible donation.
Our world is beautiful
The emphasis on "relational repair" reflects the sacred work of healing the fractured bonds between humans and the natural world. By observing, honoring, grieving, and learning from these relationships, the community nurtures a culture rooted in reciprocity and interconnectedness, where gatherings and ceremonies affirm our shared belonging. This vision centers on living not just on the land but with the land, recognizing the earth’s gifts as a source of life, wisdom, and abundance.
Through these practices, the community weaves a dynamic, interdependent culture and care-based economy that honors the responsibilities and blessings of being in relationship with all beings. It embodies a way of life grounded in harmony with the broader web of life, offering a path for future generations to flourish as part of this intricate, sacred whole.
We are deeply excited about the journey ahead and warmly invite you to join us as we learn, create, and grow together.
