We are students of simplicity and seek solace in the methods of our fathers. In a world where children believe
that eggs come from the store we struggle to relearn what
an Amish child, or our great grandfathers took for granted.
We do not limit ourselves to a culture, but seek the best
that other cultures have to offer. This growing season the grandfathers of the first nation spoke to us and we tried - successfully - a three sisters garden. Food that we grow ourselves that will sustain us, as it sustained the ancestors for generations.

Suffering Succotash! The native grandfathers were very
wise. They knew better than poor white redneck farmers
how to eat the corn. The red neck may be a symptom of
pellagra because the corn was not processed with lye.
