Bell Valley
Homestead
Welcome
The Bell Valley Homestead: the grand commitment by a large urban family to move to a small 2 acre homestead to practice self sufficiency through permaculture.
We are reawakening heavily farmed mono cropped land into a thriving integrated ecosystem of land and people through holistic solutions with conscious design and land management practices.

Our Homestead
Bell Valley Homestead was founded in 2019 by Changa & Devonna Bell. We landed a beautiful--35 mile, north east--ride outside of Baltimore City on 2 acres of land. Already ripe for permaculture with a well, windmill, solar power, pond and wooded areas, we felt empowered to start with the simple task of growing everything we eat. However, we dug in, and found clay! After decades of heavy farming the large Bachman Farm was parceled to buyers. The compacted soil made the first growing season hardly productive. So began our journey to regenerate the soil.
The Om Space
A Holistic Education Centere
The Om Space is a hub for people & programs to transform their community through holistic self-development mindfulness/yoga practices. Whilst most of our programming takes place in inner cities we created a retreat nestled in the farmland of Central Maryland. Organizations, executive teams, and individuals come to integrate holistic education for optimal being and performance.
