About the Host
Meadow & Eric Carder-Vindel
My name is Meadow Carder-Vindel aka Mama Meadow. My husband Eric, our child, and I are the primary caretakers of this garden. While living as “Back to the Landers” in Northern California during the sixties, my mother had a vision of a home on a hillside with mulberry and loquat trees in the front yard. When my parents moved back to Los Angeles, she and my father walked onto what is now known as GreenStone Farm & Sanctuary and saw the very home and trees of her vision. For almost fifty years, our family has care taken, lived with, and loved this Land and all of her occupants. We are a mixed ethnicity family with Indiginous, African, European, and Central American roots, using the ways of our ancestors to live, garden, and farm harmoniously. We both come from a long line of gardeners, farmers, horticulturists, chefs, and stewards of Mama Earth. When I became severely ill several years ago, I found my way back to better health by fully engaging in conversation and communion with our garden. Recognizing the intricate parallels between my own body and our Earth, as she healed, I healed and we knew it was time for me and Eric to take on the honor as primary stewards of this Land. It is our family's joy to open our gates to you.
