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.

30 Plants per week are the Sweet Spot
Dr. Tim Spector Podcast with Rich Roll – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nop0-lZy9cM&t=51s I like this title.
