Holy Hay Bale Batman and Other Adventures of a City Slicker In The Country
My Oregon weekend has been full of eye opening adventures for a city boy. First, despite a lifetime of driving in the Bay Area, I had never before encountered a hay bale in the middle of the freeway, let alone run one over at 50 mph. As someone who has heard a number of disturbing car meets deer stories -- which by the way don't always end well -- I was pleased to have survived my first hay bale collision largely intact. My rental car looked like it had been foraging in grassland all its life afterwards and complained of... Continue reading

We realize that this is just the beginning and that we have a lot of work ahead of us to renovate the home, put in place renewable energy and heating systems, and to transform the land into something that will help sustain us with food, a place to play, and a place to learn. But that process can only begin in earnest once we have... Continue reading
