We do not do everything just like everyone else does, as many of you have observed by now. That is true not only with our farming methods but other areas of our life as well. About a year ago I felt God directing us to build a small studio for each of our children where [...]

Fox News did a special report on the Maryland State Park Curatorship program last week. Our house was one of the featured houses. The state park system has about 200 houses that were acquired as part of land acquisitions. Many of these houses are historic and the park system does not have the finances to [...]
The most important and needed plant food is everywhere. You can’t see it, but you can feel it. You can’t control it or buy it, but it is available for free everywhere. It is as light as the wind, but it makes trees weigh many tons. After I found out what the most needed plant [...]
Cathy and the children just returned from visiting Grandma in Kansas. A highlight of their trip was visiting Little House on the Prairie. The children were surprised how small the house was. Melody has enjoyed reading the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. She drew a diagram of the cabin and what was in [...]
