And for you White Buffalo... we leave

Oh the mixed feelings we have about the wwoof program.

We made the decision to leave White Buffalo yesterday amidst a farm drama, that in all honesty, did get blown out of proportion BUT served to hammer in two points:

1. The farm needs a lot of work. The cause is worthwhile (being one of the originators of the organics movement in Colorado) but the wwoof program needs to be restructured so that all voices are heard and all individuals given equal respect and consideration. The potential is certainly there- it's just not something with which Maggie and I wish to be involved. It's someone's community to build, but not ours.

2. Leading to the second point: we want a community to build. We are going back to Twin Oaks. More on this later.

  1. Just catching up with you two, but Twin Oaks? Really? I didn't expect that at all! Sending lots of hugs your way!
