Who We Are


We choose to operate our non-profit organization as a board driven entity so that all invested voices are heard. Decisions are made unanimously so we can move forward with the best intentions. We are currently able to organize and steward on the 22 acres because of the generous investments made by our founding board members. Our goal is to eliminate land ownership hierarchies when 3ndless 3arth 3covillage can purchase the land title in full. We feel this will benefit and support the community by creating transparency and equal opportunities to expand upon the 333 vision.

Kinesology, M.S.

Keith is a third generation local of Calaveras County and grew up just a few miles as the crow flies from 3ndless 3arth 3covillage. He chose to move back to the area in 2016 after traveling and looking for land to call home. He has a passion for exploring the serene rivers and blue mountains that surround us here in Mountain Ranch. He currently resides on the land at 333 and is the “Community House Project” lead builder, which gives 333 a pivotal sense of security living in the rural mountains off-grid. His connection with the local community and the people in it has been an incredibly helpful resource for 333’s vision and its execution of projects. Having access to so many diverse people is allowing the larger community to come together for support, skill-sharing, knowledge, and emotional investment with one another.

Keith is the ultimate problem solver and takes on several projects at once. He appreciates when others can assist him with completing tasks or creating solutions to obstacles that arise with builds, organization, and business models. He is resourceful, tactful, and a natural creative that inspires others to think positively when issues come up so as to keep any project’s momentum moving forward with grace.

Environmental Biology, B.S.

A visionary, inspirer, nutritionist, alchemist, crafter, chef, and enthusiastic team player, Curt has an ever evolving set of trades - anything he can get his hands on. He enjoys engaging with others, usually amidst deep life conversations, sharing and cultivating knowledge & passion to create community connection. Living on the land at 3ndless 3arth as a caretaker, he is usually found in the kitchen cooking and preserving food, tending to the animals, in the garden with dirty hands or in the forest foraging for wild foods and medicines. He loves being active - working hard on the land, involved in movement practices such as yoga and Qi gong, rock climbing, hiking, and playing frisbee and basketball.

Curt has an 3ndless curiosity of understanding social permaculture values and applying it to the structure of 3ndless 3arth 3covillage. He has spent over 8 years cultivating community & land-based relationship skills through his involvement in university collaborations at DePauw University in Indiana, obtaining a PDC (Permaculture Design Certification) and a Forest Garden Design Intensive at Heartwood Institute in Humboldt, traveling abroad to engage within intentional communities and intimate gatherings, as well as living a minimalist lifestyle for years to develop a sense of resourcefulness, personal serenity, and a deep relationship with the natural world.

Creator of New Earth Alchemy, Curt is captivated in creating fermented foods, wild herbal tonics, alchemical elixirs, and consulting with others regarding their health, nutrition and lifestyle choices. He demonstrates his dedication to land stewardship, community development and food resiliency through his involvement in both 3ndless 3arth 3covillage as well as the Mountain Ranch Youth Alliance & Resource Center. He is committed to these two nonprofit organizations determined to support the larger community towards its goal of self-resiliency, land restoration and a regenerative culture.

Samantha grew up in southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts with her large, intimate Sicilian and Lebanese family. As farmers, orchardists, builders, visionaries and laborers, Samantha has put into practice many of her childhood skills and work ethic at 3ndless 3arth 3covillage.

Her academic careers in fine arts, theater, anthropology, archaeology, and paleoethnobotany has impacted all the communities Samantha has lived in and worked with. During the 7 years of her formal education attending UCLA and Cal State LA she worked with indigenous tribes throughout the southwest and southern CA (Kumeyaay-Ipai & Tipai, Cocopa, Cahuilla, Tongva, Chumash, Hopi & Zuni) understanding how relationships between plants and people have changed over time. She will continue similar efforts for 333 by establishing tribal connections and building a foundation of respect and reverence for those who have lived on the land at 333 and in Calaveras County for thousands of years.

Currently, Samantha is an active board member of 333 that markets the organization to expand and share its story with the larger community creating events that are project or education oriented.
