About Us

MVCC short for Mountain Valley Country Club was founded in 1964 by a group of golf enthusiasts who sought to create a premier destination for golfers in the region. Over the years, the club became a hub for the community, hosting weddings, corporate events, and other social gatherings. The golf course was meticulously maintained, with lush greens and fairways that challenged even the most experienced golfers.

The golf course, which was once a prideful source for both its members and the community, experienced a decline in popularity due to several factors. The increase in development in the surrounding neighborhood caused more runoff, leading to severe damage to the golf course grounds. This constant flooding and environmental deterioration greatly impacted the condition of the course. Additionally, the COVID pandemic, starting in early 2020, resulted in an economic downturn and a decrease in discretionary spending. Despite efforts to attract new members and maintain the quality of the course, the interest in golf continued to decline. As a result, the club was forced to close in 2022, leaving the future of the property uncertain.

However, the owner of the country club, who had a deep love for nature and a commitment to preserving the environment for future generations, saw an opportunity to repurpose the land. After much consideration and planning, the owner decided to transform the former golf course into a permaculture ecological institution.
The new institution would focus on sustainable agriculture and ecological conservation, with a mission to promote education and research into sustainable farming practices, while preserving the natural beauty of the land. The owner worked closely with experts in permaculture and ecological design to develop a plan that would honor the legacy of the country club, while ushering in a new era of sustainability and ecological stewardship.
Today, the former country club has been reborn as a thriving permaculture ecological institution, attracting visitors from around the region who are interested in learning about sustainable agriculture and ecological conservation. The legacy of the club lives on, not in the form of a golf course, but in the form of a vibrant, sustainable community that is committed to preserving the natural beauty of the land for future generations to enjoy.
