As we move toward the close of summer looking back is the natural thing to do. I generally think of spring as the beginning of the year. Winters rest and planning leads to action in spring which results in produce in summer. Then as autumn approaches I feel the need to reflect. This year we started our "farm" officially and brought this wonderful puppy into our lives. Emma does eat some of the berries but we have more than enough. We nurtured a fledgling business - Mendo Vibes Sauces & Pickles - to help support our local friend and help him get his passion off to a great start. He is now selling his sauces locally. We had a few gatherings here on the land to cheer our local community and commemorate our coming to this amazing little town. We remarked at how we have made a huge crowd of friends here within weeks of our arrival, something we have never experienced in any other place in America! We feel incredibly blessed as we move our project forward, facing all the challenges and triumphs with equanimity. We have found peace, here in Willits CA. We hope you'll join us here one day!
