We've moved the focus of the community endeavour down the northern end of the farm. It's a new start, with a defined permaculture outlook. There is a new shed to go up, dams to be built, and an extensive aquaponics system to develop. We'll be housing WOOFers, and other permaculture volunteers.

Tim Engbrecht
We moved out to rural Manitoba nearly three years ago, and it was with great pleasure that I noticed a healthy, mature Sugar Maple in our back yard. (They don't often make it through our winters...)
