This farm was quite the site. They have lived as a community with around 20-30 people all on this one farm. They are goats, cows and many other animals. They are self sustaining and have all their needs met by the farm. It was a definite experience here at this farm, I was blown away by the perspectives the local farmers had here at this farm. Their idea of living sustainably was to understand that there is more to life than just us, our bodies, our existence. They were a bit earthy crunchy in a good way but beyond a scope that as even hard for me to comprehend. The people living on this community, many since 1979 and others since 1983, have all their belongings combined. They combine their money, necessities and work and labor. It was an amazing site to see it all in action. They use everything they can on their farm, nothing is waste!

We have the remainder of this week of as well as all of next week so there may be some interesting adventures. I am sad to report though after break soon to follow is November. What November brings is only another month here is this beautiful city. Too crazy, and too fast!
