We support churches in creating eco communities on their land in order to deepen worship, welcome their community, and combat climate breakdown

What People Are Saying

“As people look for meaning and value in their lives and in this world, the work of Hazelnut Community becomes more important than ever. Connecting people to the land that feeds them and to people that nurture each other is a unique and precious gift. Indeed, Hazelnut teaches that we are surrounded and sustained by sacred gift upon gift. Come see, feel, smell, hear, and taste the goodness of God!” -Norman Wirzba

“Hazelnut Community is not just a place, but a haven where nature, friendship, and sustainability intertwine harmoniously” - April & Kent

“It's been a joy to watch the pioneering work of Hazelnut grow through the years. I recommend the work they are doing to connect churches and communities with their land and I look forward to seeing it continue to develop and flourish.” -Ruth Valerio

“We’re thrilled to be a part of the journey to transform land for nature and to bring hope in places of darkness.” -Andy Lester, A Rocha Uk

“Every time I go to Hazelnut, I feel like I’m going home and seeing my friends. This place is filled with love, faith, and encouragement.” -Vicky Yeung
