July 17, 2024: We are starting our gardens and reclaiming the abandoned farmstead apple orchard from the poplar trees that were shading it out. We now are getting a healthy crop of kale leaves everyday but are far from establishing any substantial food preservation systems. The land is abundant in raspberries and blackberries that are just now coming into season. We don’t have a communal house built yet and have only hosted a handful of small events, but we are building up our infrastructure as fast as we can with the necessary logging, earthmoving, and milling equipment we have when it’s not down for maintenance.
