About Us

Nestled in the timeless folds of Transylvania’s rolling hills, The Earthway is a sanctuary born from a simple truth: the land holds the wisdom to heal what the world wears thin. Founded by Kevin Jarvis, a wanderer who traded the concrete pulse of Los Angeles for the quiet call of Somartin’s clay-rich soil, our retreat is a living invitation to rediscover harmony. Over many years of stewardship, we’ve transformed a Saxon barn and cottage into a haven of regenerative living, where permaculture principles—earth care, people care, fair share—guide every breath and bale. Here, in our 6,000 m² patch of duff and dawn, we cultivate not just crops, but connections. From hands-on permaculture workshops that unearth the land’s hidden rhythms to craft brewery tastings that celebrate regional grains, our offerings are threads in a larger weave: awakening to the interdependence that binds us all. Whether you’re seeking solitude in a firelit room or collaboration around an outdoor kitchen feast, The Earthway is where stories root, kindness compounds, and the threshold between self and soil blurs. We’re not gurus or gatekeepers; we’re fellow travelers, committed to a world where business blooms from the ground up. Join us in Somartin—let’s turn the soil together.
