Towards a Sustainable Culture

The second Saturday of every month, beginning in April, has been designated as an open house date at Russet House Farm. All the dates are as follows:

April 8; May 13; June 10; July 8; Aug 12; Sept 9; Oct 14

The August date coincides with the Practicing Resurrection conference we are co-hosting with *culture is not optional.

The open house dates will provide an opportunity, not just to see what we do here on a daily basis, but also to get involved in organic vegetable and grass-fed beef and poultry production. We will also be offering tours relating to every aspect of our attempts to live in a more ecologically and economically sustainable manner, including wind and solar-voltaic energy production; passive solar design and heating; forestry; and agriculture. Most importantly, we hope our open house dates, and especially the August conference, will serve as an invitation to relationship and restoration. Visiting Russet House Farm will involve sharing meals, meeting new friends, walks in the forest, and good campfire conversation.

If you live in Ontario, or are planning a visit to the area in the coming months, consider dropping in for a visit, either on one of the dates listed above or any time, if you contact us first to let us know you are coming. Feel free to e-mail me at hwbakker@hotmail.com for directions or to set up a visiting time.

I’ll be conducting a bit of a virtual tour on the blog over the next few weeks as an introduction to what we are doing here, as well as for interested people who will not be able to visit in the near future.
