Statement of Purpose

PROGRESSIVE FARMERS, accomplished artisans, and innovators in many areas, Shaker practices and products were admired by the "world's people."
Their vegetable seeds, medicinal herbs, chairs, woodenware, brooms, baskets and other goods brought the Shakers recognition and prosperity.
Today our farmers and gardeners, weavers, basketmakers, cabinetmakers and other artisans use Shaker methods to bring history alive.
