La Ancla ••• Ventura, California

somewhere between madmax and ecotopia is la ancla, an urban sustainability project in ventura, california's la avenida neighborhood. we have a 1/5 acre of land five minutes from the ocean, 3 cottages and an intense passion for laughter, nature, and living in harmony with each other and the earth. we believe it is possible to live well in a beautiful place with a small ecological footprint while not isolating ourselves from economic and cultural resources of the city.

We are all full with WWOOFers until May. That means we don't have any spaces left for March or April. Sorry...

Spring...


Ahlala. The last of the winter storms is over. The greens are getting big and the artichokes fat with rainwater. The figs have new growth and the Santa Rosa plum is in full fucking bloom... things are looking up for the coming of longer days...

We're currently taking on pairs of WWOOFers for weekend assignments. Drop us a line (no calls) and we'll see what we can arrange.

Closed for Business...

Heaps of changes around this joint. The gardens are pumping out melons and cukes and chards and beets and chilis and herbs and tomatos and artichokes and squashes and strawberries and everything else. Tons of house guests, a rad art show and now it's time for surf trips, back to school and some much needed downtime.

We will not be hosting any WWOOFers again until Spring 2011. Contact us in February if you're interested in WWOOFing in March or April.

Safe travels!
