December 2007

The land has been purchased! Now begins the long process of building the farm, a house and cottage -- simple, low-energy natural homes that limit our fossil fuel use as well as other resources. We'll soon be busy clearing fields, improving the soil, planting crops, and building a barn. As the project progresses, we hope to produce the bulk of our food, grown using natural practices, enabling us to limit our dependence on outside sources, and to know where our food comes from. In time, we plan to grow enough to offer community supported agriculture (CSA) to the surrounding community.
