Discovery Culture Permaculture Farm
Discovery Culture is a collective permaculture forestry farm, HipCamp Host and Tiny Home Village in the quaint town of Discovery Bay, WA. They have a gorgeous 10 acre property. Their friend and neighbor shares the driveway with them and they are doing a lot of similar work like natural houses, orchards, and parties right next to them on their 20 acre parcel.
It is only a 3 minute walk to Salmon Creek, the Discovery Bay estuary, the Discovery Bay store Complex, and the Olympic Discovery Trail. The community of Discovery Bay is an area near the intersection of U.S. Route 101 and State Route 20, at the foot of Discovery Bay – roughly midway between the larger communities of Port Townsend to the northeast and Sequim to the northwest.
Discovery Bay Store Complex: Only A 3 Minute Walk
The store complex is amazing with a natural food store, an outdoor gear exchange, a cannabis store, and a pub/coffees shop. It is a thriving hub of activity.
Discovery Culture has a year round stream, nursery, orchards, gardens, ducks, and cats.
They have a small community living and working here. Discovery Culture is comprised of young adults who have immense passion and entrepreneurship for life and projects. Healthy living and personal empowerment are their modus operandi. They use permaculture design as a lens on how to live and interact with the landscape.
They are seeking a caretaker couple and more community members to both live as renters and to buy into the land and help with projects. Profit sharing is available to community members who wish to engage in their projects.
