On the Mendocino Coast, Salmon Creek Farm Arts continues the legacy of the 1971 commune as a land-based project shaped by artist Fritz Haeg. Nestled among redwoods, orchards, and gardens, the site is being slowly restored through Haeg’s ecological and architectural ethos, where living, making, and land stewardship merge into a single practice. The handmade cabins, revived rather than reinvented, form a dispersed campus for artists to work at a slower pace and in direct relationship with the forest. Entirely vegetarian and striving toward zero waste, the community cultivates the redwood ecosystem it inherited, turning the former commune into a place where retreat, repair, and creative life unfold through the landscape itself.
