    WHO WE ARE

We're in the process of integrating permaculture design principles and ethics on our property whit an aim towards sustainable practices. Bob is a Certified Permaculture Designer currently works occasionally in education.
    The property is 76 acres of mixed woods and fields with trails throughout.
    We have trail maintenance, maple syrup production, chickens for eggs, organic gardens. We would like our helpers to weed, cultivate, mill logs with bandsaw mill, build new structures (Natural Building) cook some meals and trim trees. Depending on the time of year harvesting of crops may be included. Some of the new projects may include: small retreat/cabin in the woods and timber frame workshop (2023/2024).

    What we do: Permaculture, Mushroom Logs (Shiitake), Greenhouse, Maple Syrup, Preserves, , Fruit trees and Bushes, Seed Saving , Organic gardens, mulching, composting, compost tea and volunteer with Loving Spoonful a local non-profit organization whose goals are food security and sovereignty.
