$100 Food Forest

The $100 Food Forest is a Permaculture teaching tool to introduce the concepts of forest gardening.

Get inspired

Nature provides inspiration for many of life's endeavors and reaches deep within our psyche.

Value nature

All of nature has value. We want to work with nature, not control it.

Diversity is essential

Having as much diversity in both flora and fauna is essential to us. We are not the only ones that live here.

Be different

Being small has made us really evaluate what we do. Heritage skills such as felting and herbalism are fit well into our Permaculture micro-farm.

Permaculture in practice.

Guelph 2012-What a great Conference

Thanks to all of those that came to say hi at the Guelph Organic Conference. What a treat it was to show off our drum carder, not to mention all the people that shared their stories, and tried their hand at carding wool, and learning about needle felting!

We made some great connections and met some fascinating people. It was such a great time!

More details about our courses and felting kits will be sent out soon. Stay tuned!

It's Conference time!

We have been incredibly busy here getting ready for the one main social event on our yearly calendar. It is the time for the Guelph Organic Conference.

We have been busily being gathering supplies and information for our table at the GOC. After a few years of observation and exploration both Tim and I seem to have found our niches. We are really refining both ourĀ  role and our little farm this year. Here are a few of the exciting thing we have planned for this year!

A different perspective

This past summer we had a very unique and wonderful experience. Amy Whitney, of The Inspirational, Transformational Network came to see us. Amy has a blog that features people that are forging their own paths through life. If you need hit of "feeling good" this is the place to go. You can find people from all walks of life that have followed their hearts and dreams. It is an honour to be included in this group of people.

Not only did she want to see what we were doing on our small piece of the earth, but she wanted to film us as well. Frankly, it was frightening. We now have whole different perspective for those who regularly stand in front of a camera.

Amy was patient with us. We told our story to her and she captured it all on film. Of course it is a fairly long story. Amy patiently whittled it down to a wonderful short film. Even Beauty got into the story!

Thanks Amy, it has helped see ourselves through a different lens!
