On our off grid little farm we use organic and permaculture based principles to grow food, infrastructure, and us. When we build, our projects use salvaged, recycled, homegrown, and or earthen techniques and materials. When we grow we do the about the same, incorporating the excremental gifts of our chickens and goats. February 2008, we planted our first pear trees and blueberry bushes. We had
come out to put these exciting new lives into their new home's earth when we found the beautiful 15 acres of forest next door being mowed down by heavy equipment. As we planted our little plants we teetered on the rope of hope making our tiny commitment to a future, our tiny mark so small in the world. But like a butterfly's wings our little acts ripple into the world. This year we see those same blueberries full of green fruit and look forward to those sweet blue berries come july.
