The first signs of autumn have settled into the forest—cleansing rains and a crisper air. The coolness is especially welcome as we commence the building of our raised beds in the garden. The bed frames are a beautiful rough cypress which allow a more sustainable structure to grow delicious veggies. No doubt our fall garden will be most delightful this year. Freddy is also continuing his steady progress on the shelves and benches in the new dome, and as the boards tell him where they’d like to rest, book matched stacks of pine from our forest line her walls .

Labor day weekend brought great energy and wonderful food to the forest with our acro-yoga fund raiser. Lovely Lila lead us in combining the flying elegance of acrobatics and the fluid strength of yoga as we enjoyed Jonas’ crafted vegan meals in between sessions.

Day by day we’re feeling the shift in the seasons, awaiting the falling of the leaves and the beauty of each day among the trees.

May the Forest Be With You
