Buy our new book on how to build a straw bale studio!
In 2022 we built a beautiful small studio with out of strawbales and natural clay and local wood, it was an exciting and arduous process, we failed often but learned daily. We decided to write about it to inspire others who have been dreaming about natural building to share that, yes! You can do it!

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 postLeasons from an English farm: using bokashi and Johnson-Su composting
The greatest delight of travel is to see and learn things that you cannot at home. Yesterday was an instance of just such a pleasure in England, as our friend and host Karen, took me took me to visit her friends Phil, Heather, and Monty of Lower Blackmere farm in Herefordshire. The three of them spent two hours showing me around the farm, which was incredibly generous, given how busy they are. Thank you! I wish I had remembered to take an overall photo of my hosts and their beautiful farm; I did remember to take some "tech" photos though!

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!
