Our Book
This is a memoir of our lives and sometimes risky decisions. We relate our early years, meeting and raising kids, and building the farm, the organic movement and a healthy community. We didn’t always go along with what most Americans were doing, especially in the areas of diet and health care, employment, debt and consumerism, energy use, and culture. In this book we explain what we did, why we did it, and how it turned out. We hope it is both entertaining and helpful to people wanting to fashion a purposeful life.

Stepping It Up
December 9, 2024 Stepping It Up This past week I took my yearly sojourn to Northampton (in the middle of that awful snowstorm, none-the-less) to visit my eye doctor of 18 years, Theresa Ruggiero, who specializes in people with “special” eye concerns – in my case, albinism, crossed-eyes, non-binocular vision, and low, somewhat uncorrectable (by…
