Mary spent her life teaching others, volunteering in her community, and fighting for environmental causes. When her husband passed away last year, she knew it was time for a change — somewhere smaller, more manageable, and aligned with her values.
She fell in love with Earth Keepers for its commitment to sustainability with the right amount of community. The gardens, workshops, and shared meals have become the heartbeat of her days. She especially loves the education and has become a volunteer teacher sharing alongside her passionate neighbors. And when she wants a little fun? Mary is known for a quick trip to Reno for a girls’ night out!
Tom spent his career as an engineer, always solving problems and finding opportunities to mentor young minds. Now, he’s not done yet — far from it. After retiring, he was looking for more; he knew he needed connection, and this is his chance to keep learning and give back!
From leading hands-on workshops on sustainable systems to mentoring WWOOFers and the local high school students through the Earth Keepers’ education program, Tom is not only engaged, he’s inspired by the next generation.
After decades of raising kids, working full-time jobs, and adventuring through Colorado’s backcountry, John and Linda were ready for a new kind of home — one that matched their energy and values. When they discovered Earth Keepers, everything clicked.
They love the mild desert climate — and being close enough to visit their grandkids in California. Here, they’ve found a tight-knit group of neighbors who share their love of nature and even started a weekly bird-watching group.
Every week brings something exciting: sunrise hikes across the desert trails, fresh meals made from produce grown just steps away, and friendly gatherings under the stars. For John and Linda, Earth Keepers isn’t just where they live — it’s how they choose to live.
