“Food and medicine should never be behind a paywall.”
Join us in keeping Rhizome Revival alive — an educational farm in Bastrop, TX offering free and low-cost classes in homesteading, permaculture, and botanical medicine. Together, we can grow food, knowledge, and community wellness for all.
Together We Are A Stronger Humanity
Empower
Growth
Across our country, families are facing a growing polycrisis — rising food prices, high cost health care, increasing chronic illnesses, declining soil health, and deafening isolation.
Rhizome Revival was founded to offer a different path: reconnecting people with the land and teaching the timeless skills that restore sovereign health and wellness. We believe that when people learn to grow food, make medicine, and care for the Earth, they reclaim their inherent strength synergetically— and communities thrive.
What We Do
Every week on our small Bastrop farm, we open our gates to teach and share.
Each class plants a seed — of knowledge, confidence, and connection.
Homesteading & Permaculture
Food preservation, edible forests, soil building & sustainable practices.
Botanical Medicine
Plant identification, seasonal foraging & medicine making.
On Site Farm Days
Monthly farm hosting guest mentors to present areas of expertise free to the public.
Community Education
Free outreach classes across central TX for all ages, abilities & backgrounds.
Hands-On Make & Take Workshops
Affordable tuition for in-depth learning that folks can physically take home.
Why We Need Your Help Right Now
As evidenced by their Tuesday morning class last month at The Natural Gardener in Austin, with over 40 folks in attendance, on a TUESDAY MORNING, these programs are sought after and very much needed in our community.
This year, our founding team faced both a medical emergency with their daughter and subsequent loss of employment within just a few months of each other. Despite these hardships, they’ve continued to serve the community, teach classes, and care for the land — but the financial burden has become too heavy to carry alone.
In the two years that Rhizome Revival has been serving the community, all of their costs have been paid out of pocket while the ardent task of grant writing and applications continues. On average only 10% of applied grant applications are awarded. As they close this fiscal year, they are facing an urgent shortfall to cover operating costs to keep Rhizome Revival running.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, all of your donations are tax-deductible. Supporting their mother daughter medicine making apothecary shop is a great win-win holiday option for everyone's health and wellbeing. Jacob is also a seasoned, skilled, certified and insured arborist available to serve all your tree thriving needs.
If you are unable to contribute financially, grassroots sharing with friends and family on social media channels helps to get the word out - not only about their need, but also their invaluable programing. Without your support, their ability to continue offering these programs will be at risk. We need your help to raise $10,000 to keep the farm open and programs funded.
The We Are One Foundation is a and honored to be the fiscal sponsor of our Rhizome Revival team.
