Shangrila Farm is the home of Elaine Taylor. Elaine has been developing Shangri La Farm since May 2000. The farm was a real fixer-upper. Elaine's former companion Rick Pier helped her to fix up the farm for a number of years until he moved on and married the love of his life.
Just one look around the house and the grounds was all it took to know of it's real potential. It took alot of hard work and skill to create this "Heaven on Earth" and there is much more work to be done. The "new dream" has only just begun. After 20 years Elaine sees another level of magic and wonder unfolding. Come one and come all to participate and experience its greatness. Elaine Welcomes anyone who wants to share her vision and help with its unfolding.and be a part of what the world seems to be lacking...A place where you can just be. Heal. Take in the forces of nature. Create . Build a better world for everyone peacefully and responsibly together.
Elaine has many skills.Growing produce, flowers, nursery stock, culinary and medicinal herbs, fruit trees and berries. Along with her ablity to grow things she also is a master embroider, writer, teacher, herbalist, sailor,and artist.
The gardens were planted and the aparies introduced and the vineyard established and the craft studio repaired and the wood working shop evolved with the constant watchful eye over the many seasons of change that she has experienced. She is so blessed to have the opportunity to share this beautiful place with everyone.Elaine welcomes you and knows that you will see what they saw when they arrive at Shangri La Farm 20 short years ago
