In 1976, we, along with our two children, went in search of a lifestyle that would allow us to reduce our negative impact on the environment, be free of the 9 to 5 grind, and be as self-sufficient and self-reliant as we could. We have lived this lifestyle for 47 years now, raising and teaching our children, building our home, growing our fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, and nuts, saving our own seeds and producing our own electric power.

_In an effort to share our knowledge with others, we teach a course, called, “Growing Through the Seasons”. This is a course designed to lead participants through an entire growing season from planning and planting to harvesting and storing the harvest.
