  • Description

    Riley and I had a farm in a village in Russia. We were recently forced to abandon it. Now we plan on traveling around for a while, hoping to somehow stay close to the land, learn to be better gardeners and farmers, learn how to build structures that don't fall apart, and learn to be self-sufficient in a society all too willing to baby us in exchange for our freedom and our souls. We adore animals of all kinds and have experience milking and caring for cows and goats, and taking care of dogs, cats, and chickens. I love to garden and am dying to learn about permaculture and no-till. Riley is very very interested in learning how to work with wood, brick, and stone, but has a special affinity for stone. We are both hard workers and will be happy to help out in other ways as well.
