| Tryon Life Community Farm tour |
TLC occupies seven acres of land with rolling meadows, gardens, wooded cliffs, homes and naturally-built structures that is adjacent to Tryon Creek State Natural Area. Families work together and live together in an intentional community called Cedar Moon. Residents volunteer ten hours a week assisting with projects (such as building and events) and six hours a week contributing support to the community (cooking, gardening, etc).
TLC's mission, to "grow community learning while preserving common green space, restoring native ecosystems, and demonstrating sustainable urban density living", is a perfect compliment for the Friends of Tryon Creek, who share our passion for environmental education, and the preservation and conservation of nature, with the goal of instilling that value in others. As neighbors of TLC, touring the property with Friends' volunteers, was informative and rewarding.
The Friends extend our sincere thanks to TLC (their ovens make the tastiest wood-fired pizzas on the planet!) and appreciate their hospitality and vision. We encourage the public to support Tryon Life Community Farm in their efforts to create a Sustainable Community Building that will house events for both TLC members and interested members of the public.

What wonderful find for us right here in our neighborhood. Experiencing the unmanicured landscape was fun. Thanks, we had a good time and really good pizza which is now fondly remembered.
