On the Back Burner
Hesselridge Farm
Turning a slightly worn, somewhat overgrazed 10-acre horse property into a carbon neutral food production site. While the farm is currently occupied by wonderful caretaker-friends, I learned a lot during the years’ of work I put into it. I would estimate that I can now do journeyman-level work with plumbing and electricity, and I successfully built a complete water supply system for a new 3-bedroom house, from well to faucet.
