For many years I had regular Friday night social gatherings of close friends. We'd often vent our frustrations at the stupidity of the system around us that glorified superficial choices and failed to support people.  Sometimes we just hung out, other times we'd work on a project together.  We'd show up at a friends house with five vehicles for  a one-day household move that ended with pizza and laughter instead of frustration and stubbed toes.  We had movie nights and made mead and hosted dinne …

I attended the three weekend Permaculture workshops in the Fall of 2010 and now I'm fully hooked. As Charles Yelton is fond of saying about certain things, "Once you go down the rabbit hole you can't ever go back." And that is certainly true for me and my love of Permaculture. I didn't just go down the rabbit hole, I shot down it like my last meal was in there somewhere. We are beginning the process of turning this one acre into a Permaculture Demonstration Site, so that friends, community, fam …

Did you ever live or work or study outside the USA? If you did, and feel like that place or those places are as much home to you as anywhere in the USA, I'd like to meet you and share stories and experiences. Where you live now doesn't matter, but it's easier if we're able to get together without overnight travel, such as around the Seacoast area of New England or anywhere that the Amtrak Downeaster goes. Some ideas, and I'm open for more, include celebrating the holidays of the places where you …

We believe in using COMMON SENSE IDEAS to build a healthier and happier community. What do we mean by Common Sense? We agree with the Webster's definition: "Beliefs or propositions that most people believe prudent and of SOUND judgment without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people in common.  Thus common sense (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience most people ALREADY HAVE." We believe that even with ALL O …
