::homesteading:: Mindful Living in Minnesota - Where the 4 of us get together to discuss eco-consciousness, slow living, gardening, farmer's markets + CSAs, sustainability, handcrafted / homemade goodness, energy efficiency and other green practices, local choices, and other lifestyle changes
I am trying to be more sustainable and show my family that it can be done with little hardship. We are doing a lot of things that are new to us and some things that we are honing our skills on. But I am shacommunity all of the experiences.
With roots in the technical (computer/web programming) and the creative (music,art,writing) worlds, I discovered a paradise in my own backyard when I started explocommunity edible landscape and design. Not only does the garden contain an infinite set of design puzzles for me to chew on, it is also a place of sustenance, peace, beauty, hope and a catalyst for positive social change
