We call it a project because there are lots of things going on here. We are a family of four living semi-rurally in our owner-built off-grid straw bale home, attachment parenting, homeschooling, farming and homesteading with two other family members on 10 acres. Our goals are self-sufficiency and sustainability as we prepare for the future while living joyfully in the present.

It was great to mead you!
Last month we had the pleasure of meeting four really cool new friends. Alan, Kat, Tristan, and Jenny (gee, what are the odds?) joined us for another delicious farm meal. They not only contributed great company and delicious fresh chard, but they also brought along some of Tristan's homebrewed prickly pear mead. Both food and drink were delicious and we really enjoyed getting to know these folks better. Younger than us and without children yet, their worlds are very different than ours but we share many of the same goals and values and it was a pleasure to hear about their plans for a sustainable homestead.
We look forward to their return soon to pick plums (and we have some ripe apples too). It was great to meet you guys!

it was great to meet you, too! i'm looking forward to seeing you again this weekend. :)
I also had a great time! Thank you so much for sharing your creation with us.
Seeing something real makes me so more excited for our project.
Please remember to let us know if you have any work days and need help.
