I'm an organic farmer in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which have an incredible range of biodiversity. In the winter I have more spare time, and like to read, walk through the woods, or spend time on new hobbies and projects. I love food, making creative meals, and gathering edible wild plants. I wish that I could travel more often than I do (farm life....), but I have many good travel memories of Ecuador, Mexico, France, Italy, Ireland, and most of East-Central Europe and the Balkans.
