Our website started on Christmas of 2007 as a present from my wife. We had talked about starting an “Environmentally-Friendly” site for some time; both as a fun way to chart our own progress into more responsible living and to then make it easier for others to benefit by what we had learned by providing access to fine products that are safe and environmentally “safe”. I am constantly looking for products that are organic, natural, or just plain good for the environment.

As a family we have been growing our own vegetables with no pesticides for many years. We have our own chickens and get fresh organic eggs from them. The ultimate goal is to live as simply as possible in harmony with nature and ourselves. A back-to-basics lifestyle that will re-establish us to the land, healing the disconnection of our lives and leading to the restoration of the earth. We need to research WHOLE solutions, doing more than reduce, reuse and recycle, going beyond the fragmented and narrow band-aid solutions which postpone consequences for a time but don’t change anything permanently, especially ourselves, the source of the problems.

Simple living is not about living in poverty or self-inflicted deprivation. Rather, it is about living an examined life — one in which you have determined what is important, or "enough," for you, discarding the rest.

We are constantly making changes to our website, as well as adding some new things. As such, our website is constantly changing so check back often to find out on our progress and what new things we may have found.

 We hope that you’ll stop back often to see what’s new.
