About Me

CHAPTER 4: Two farmers growing lettuce up in Petaluma turned a Castaway trailor into a studio. The result is a refreshing taste of bitter for your ear drums. The kind of music that makes you live forever. CHAPTER 5: After nine charming, farming months on the Line, jeremy has hung up the tractor keys for the time being and entered the hospitaliity business. his long gone, parepatetic "cowboy amigo," willy, after nearly becoming a parody of one of his songs on the long stretches of highway between here and spain, has stumbled upon the biofuel world in pittsboro north carolina. the result is a large span of earth between the bitter greens and a music that trickles and floods and ripples on. CHAPTER 6: Ethno-botany based agricultural village conjured in the spirit of Oneida and James Howard Kunstler; bunk beds made by hand for guests; fermenteria opened with kombuchas, krauts, kimchis, and sweet potato soda.

oaxaca tonight

Turning the compost this evening, I saw a worm digging itself through what looked like the pit of an avocado. A still night, blue orange sky turning grey, turning cold. It's the day of the dead and I ...

Staring at the sky in soft ripples, miles from a road on a crisp sunny fall Friday in North Carolina, I had an argument. I drew a face with the clay by the shore. I heard it begin to ram...
