As individuals, we have yearned and searched far and wide for freedom, purpose, and belonging our whole lives.
Quinn founded the Garden of Eden 7 years ago, and it is the closest thing to that ideal that any of us have ever experienced. Instead of waking up to an alarm, putting on a uniform, leaving our children to go to the office, spending time around people we politely tolerate because it's appropriate, and working a job just to get a paycheck, we create our own roles in this community that embody our values. What we want to do is build the new paradigm, so we devote our priceless hours and precious manpower towards that 7 days a week.
Building the new paradigm looks different for each one of us, and one of the most amazing things about the GoE is that every individual finds a place where their personal interests align with service to the greater purpose. Each person’s day is structured differently based on their unique passions and talents. Even though we take different paths to get there, together we achieve our collective goal of creating a healthier and more sustainable world for ALL.
We LOVE freedom, so some of us are devoted to studying the law, defending our rights, and empowering others access to such freedom!
We operate a non-commercial enterprise to exchange resources; some of us invest time maintaining our boutique, website, and online realities. (We've achieved having an abundance of more than enough of everything we need while living true to our ideals and we'll share more on the success of our unique economy in another post.)
We love sustainable building, so some of us salvage “trash” resources to construct and repair shelter for our people and animals. (We’ll cover our Teeny Tiny home village in an upcoming post!)
We love gardening, so some of us maintain a football field-sized plot and numerous raised beds, and gather the wildcrafted plants that ring the property for food and medicine.
We love high-vibe cuisine, so some of us spend time in the outdoor kitchen preparing dank feasts for ourselves and extended community.
We’ll unfold the profound implications of everything that happens here on a daily basis in upcoming posts.
This is just an overview of our unique and sustainable life, and we're really excited to share an in-depth look at these various facets of our life with this cutting-edge Steemit community!
We're going to leave you with a little taste of our high vibe cuisine, and in upcoming posts we'll go into detail of the extraordinary New Paradigm aspects of one of our (and humanity's!) most important realities, FOOD!
Here’s a gallery of a few of our über dank, high vibe, mouthgasmic creations:
creamy avocado toasts with beet relish and goat cheese
fresh, wholesome garden soup
a gorgeous salad boat big enough for sharing!
fresh blackberries, broccoli & basil salad with sunflowers
dense molases bread with sweet cream & berries
sweet potato rounds with salty, crumbly cheese, sweet dried cranberries, and almonds
gooey, melty caprese panini with tomato & basil
peach & berry smoothie bowl with all the fixings!
yummy raw nut paté
I had a pleasant smile on my face as I scrolled thru this post, I know how it feels to be free, and you all do too. Perfect and beautiful :)

The Garden of Eden is such an amazing and revolutionary creation. More than just a place, it is a whole new way of living that is free, authentic, inspired, connected, and driven by purpose, social responsibility and the true passion of those involved. I am SO grateful to be a part of it! I am BEYOND grateful to @quinneaker for fathering such a creation and for holding this revolutionary space for all of us here, and the many, many others we hope to serve and support in the future. I am grateful to all of you who are reading, sharing and upvoting this for your support in helping make the Garden of Eden reality accessible to so many others! Thank You!
Thank YOU!!! It's super exciting to live the revolution--to SEE that it begins within--and it's thrilling to be part of this revolutionary platform that's shaping the new paradigm!

OH YES!! This is just a small taste of the magnificence unfolding at the Garden of Eden. What a prime and unusual example of the free life--unheard of!! Quinn's vision is extraordinary. I am truly grateful to be part of such an inspiring, sustainable reality that is leading the way to planetary paradise. It is possible. It is happening. OMG!! We're doing it! Thank you @quinneaker for creating such a badass opportunity and for putting it into action. Truly grateful.
YES!! This is visionary, this is revolutionary, and this is indeed the change we want to see!!!!!
I have suffered, I have hated, I have been so miserable I didn't want to live, yet I channeled that into dedication to a whole new life. A life by my ideals rather than a life of compromise. I haven't had a boss or paid taxes in 12 years. I have only been sick 1 day in 15 years. I have traveled to every continent besides Antarctica yet the Garden of Eden is my favorite place to be in the world because I get to live EXACTLY how I want to in my own paradise. Living free, in abundance, happy as can be. Of course happiness as well as paradise is relative to each individual. That is also why I founded The Garden of Eden free of religion or dogma. So that everyone can be who they are and believe in what they believe in without judgement. We live by the Golden rule and if someone wants to believe in Christ, Krishna or Buddha then they can be free to do so. There is no need to judge manipulate or war over names and dates. What matters is being free. Simultaneously if someone can build a better life based on their preferences than what I have done, then GO FOR IT. This is not nescesarrly paradise for all. What it is though is an unprecedented vortex of sustainability of lower carbon footprint than even people in the Amazon.
That I am very proud of and that helps the entire world regardless of if they recognize it or not~
Blessings on the way~*~
We are all better because you are devoted to this vision! Thank you @quinneaker!!! Just knowing--just KNOWING--that a place like the Garden of Eden exists shifts the paradigm for many people, because we are the anomaly within the matrix.
If this is possible--if it is really really true that people are THRIVING without jobs and without paying taxes and without supporting the global military-industrial complex--then what else is possible?? The Garden of Eden's existence & proven TRUTH expands horizons and smashes limits, and we're all better because of it. Thank you for living FREEDOM!
This is awesome!
Thank you!
So good to see you on Steemit. I look forward to following along on this journey of yours, and learning along the way. All the very best to you.
Thank you! We're excited to be on this revolutionary platform too! https://steemit.com/revolution/@quinneaker/why-steemit-is-so-important-and-even-revolutionary
Unusual for me to see this style of life. It's looks cool. Thank you for sharing positive :)
Few have seen the likes of a community such as ours, but we exist to prove a better way is possible!
Thank you for your support. Hope to be able to continue to share powerful perspective~
@pierce-the-veil: Spot On! @gardenofeden, Nice content, real love for life, and TASTY food pics. As a side note, I FUCKING LOVE using the law to whoop ass on cocky attorneys, know it all judges, and "untouchable big banks". That's me jumping for joy in the picture along with our good buddy Wes, after we shut down City of Arlington from trying to buy your property at auction. What a bunch of cock-knockers they were, thinking we wouldn't call them out for Illegal Sale. Rock on!
@pierce-the-veil
Keep up the good work, guys! This is our tribe's song!
Thank you!
Gosh, that looks delicious. Following.
Thanks! Come by for an epic feast sometime, @sterlinluxan!
Mouthgasmic!
