“Welcome to Hemet, California where you are surrounded by desert mountains, boulders, and a big open sky. Just a little over two hours from Los Angeles and about an hour and a half from San Diego heading east, we drove onto Jim and Dawn's Ecoshire. Our hosts have created an oasis nestled in the hills from the reclaimed land they acquired. The property is being used as an educational ground for permaculture practices and self-sustaining, eco- friendly structures. If you want to learn how to reuse water and provide your own solar energy, be sure to ask Jim as he can take you around the property and teach as you go. We arrived as the sun went down and the full moon started to rise up. As you walk through part of the 35 acres of land, you may hear neighboring horses and cows. As the sun goes down, you will hear the owls and the resident coyotes in the night. Our site was cozy and nestled in front of a hill. The emphasis on community can be felt as the vision is well underway at the Ecoshire with communal buildings. You will find an old boxcar that is being restored with reclaimed materials. They have turned it into a beautiful bathroom with a well-lit shower. Rustic luxury in the desert, simple yet sustainable. In the morning, we walked through the Peace Garden and ate our fresh picked snap peas and added new starts to the garden as well. The hens provided eggs for our morning scramble and everything from our breakfast was harvested on site. If you are lucky Jim and Dawn will share some of their delicious home-brewed mead with you! They plan on expanding their operation, as it is very environmentally friendly and will bring more honey bees to the land. If you want a desert oasis experience with a wild, wild west feel, AND get a bit of inspiration out of the whole thing be sure to visit the Ecoshire.”

“Been here years ago back in the winter of 07’ for a Catholic religious retreat and it was peaceful. I really enjoyed the views and the quietness.”
