    Happy New Year and Gearing Up!

    Hi Everyone!

    Just wanted to send a belated happy new year's note! A big thanks to everyone who donated during the holidays. We're sure 2010 is going to be an amazing year for growth and renewal (thanks to your help!) and we're gearing up for some really exciting stuff. Keep an eye out for new permaculture design courses, next steps on the cabin and a spring fling fundraiser party in February!

    Thanks again for all your support and we look forward to being in touch soon!

    Warm hugs and vegetable dreams,

    Ananda Harvest

    We've Struck Water!

    Hey all!

    Just wanted to let you know that a couple of weekends ago, we made an investment in this cabin and the others to come. We dug a well! That's right, we're prepping the area to have fresh running water. And not just fresh, we're talking glacial. The land near our cabin has a great spot with a store of fresh glacial water that's never been touched by human impact (... awesome). Not only that, in the process of drilling, we found out that we're sitting on a glacial deposit of clay that makes it perfect for geothermal heating! More plans on that later, but thought we'd share!

    Happy holidays all and more photos, and video to come soon!

    Love and Light from Ananda
