About usSerious 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 postThe Three Sisters and a Small Farm Future
We grow the traditional Three Sisters, corn, bean, and squash, on a small plot. It’s lovely, and traditional, we get some awesome dried corn and beans from it. And it feeds my imagination. The Three Sisters are part of a fertile and beautiful corner of my inner world - a place - or time? - in which people grow good food on family or community farms while regenerating the land, using simple tools, but also with so much intelligence and knowledge that it’s gentle work, and leaves time for other endeavors. |

Big Foot LettersOur 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!
