| As urban growth encroaches our boundaries and
developers continue to carve the land into smaller chunks, we delight
in the 10.7 acres we jointly share. We look to a permaculture future...

Blessed with a few choice older apple, cherry
and plum trees, |
|
| we anticipate the yearly harvest of fresh
fruit, much of which we convert to cider, apple sauce, and
wine. |

A community meal in Songaia's common
house dining room - one place we share
the earth's bounty |
Cultivated blueberries and raspberries, along
with the ever-present blackberries, provide us with an abundance
of small fruit that find their way into our community menu.
|
|
| To manage our land and its resources, we
are drawn to the concepts of permaculture and country living.

| With open space dwindling in
areas of rapid growth, we experience ourselves as blessed with abundant
land while challenged to utilize it in ways that demonstrate sound land
management and participate in healing the earth. |
