The 5400 Square Foot Homestead A 60'x 90' urban in northeastern Illinois is being overtaken by fruit trees, berry bushes raised vegetables beds, poultry, rabbits and more. Join us as we discover old ways of living - growing, making, gleaning and foraging for what we need right where we are.
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
Join us as we start from scratch in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We will build a log cabin from scratch. And start a homestead seep in the woods. It may be a hard bust it will be worth it.
