About us
Serious stuff: we want to have a big, healing footprint on the Earth. We do this by building a food forest that mimics natural ecosystems, paying attention to soil life and wildlife, and sequestering carbon. We also want to harvest lots of yummy food - nuts, fruits, mushrooms, eggs, herbs, corn, beans ...! We read, talk, listen, teach, and experiment and write about it for others. Intriguingly, we find that farming makes us better people. Learn more by hopping over to the "About" pages.

Recent blog postFalling in love with Three Sisters
The Three Sisters, corn, bean and squash, grown together by the native Americans, have a mythical aura that exerts a pull on many a homesteader or experimental farmer. I too, heard the siren of the Three Sisters, and was seduced. In the past two years, we have planted a Three Sisters plot. It is a homage to the original farming practice of this place. But it’s also an experiment in the possibility of growing more and more nutritious food with simple tools, on less land, and little enough labor to make economic sense.

We don't bring our leaves to the dump; we collect 'm there! Then we use them for our chicken deep litter. Motto: we collect trash and call it permaculture! 11/24

Big Foot Letters
Our blog posts started out as letters to friends and family to tell them about what we were doing, dreaming, thinking about as the Big Foot Food Forest came alive and grew. In these posts we write about our trees, berries, chickens, sheep, building projects and our general ruminations on farming in today's world. We hope that by sharing our stories, others can learn from what we did and are doing - including our many mistakes! Read some of our posts in the "Letters" pages!
