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.

Foghorn Leghorn – what our rooster is teaching me about courage
We have had roosters off and on throughout the years, and sometimes we have turned them into soup, because over the winter and early spring when they are completely free range, they have become too aggressive for folks. Specifically, we have had leghorn roosters in the past who were pretty chill, so I decided to…

A Belated Valentine’s Day message
“Love is not really a mystery. It is a process like anything else. A process that requires trust, effort, focus and commitment by two willing partners” ― Elizabeth Bourgeret On Valentine’s Day this past week, Jack and I made something of a pact, to see how deeply we could continue to fall in love, with…

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi
