(i very much enjoyed the burrow bio to the left...which i either hadn't noticed before or just haven't been here in a while.); July 3, 2009 8:10 PM

The Burrow is a tiny earthberm house on 1/4 of an acre at the edge of the forest in the Ozark Mountains. We're about 6 miles from town or any sort of store or gas station. We moved here 8 or 9 years ago from a much larger place that was further away from town. Altho the Burrow is tiny, we all somehow seem to fit and have everything we need : ) Currently I make a living by selling herbal teas and medicinals, my artwork and renting out my small cabin studio. We do sell eggs, which pays for their corn and eventually plan to sell goats milk and a few goats each year. I'm also planning to sell at the farmers market when I have enough produce to sell and am looking into selling my teas and herbals there as well. I've found that you really don't need nearly as much money as we've all been led to believe to have what we need, be healthy and, most of all, truly be happy. I garden for food and medicinals and wildcraft and forage in the forest. I make much of what we use myself and trade, barter and buy second hand as often as possible. I don't shun modern convenience but I'm very interested in the old ways and doing everything by hand. We live very simply by choice, a choice of simplicity, peace and balance :)
