We are a writers' co-operative.

Our writers focus on sustainability, self-reliance and simplifying life. There are posts here on poultry and livestock, organic vegetable gardening, preserving and canning, bread and cheese making, stockpiling, food storage, home cooking, green cleaning, sewing, mending, knitting, families, local communities, cutting back, budgeting, living well, and much more.

Our writers are: Nita, Sadge, Kate, Eilleen, Gavin, Francesca, Rhonda Jean, Bel, Danelle, Linda, Amanda, Megan and Jemma. They all have their own personal blogs and you'll find those links in the left sidebar. All their blogs are a rich source of inspiration and information about living well.
