On our trip to Portland we stopped in a couple book stores and I picked up the book Ai Wei Wei With Milk in one of them. Ai Wei Wei has recently been disappeared in China and there have been demonstrations around the world to find out where he is. After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Ai Weiwei decided to investigate on his own account, given the silence on the part of his country’s authorities as regards the number of victims, and opened a blog to recall the dead. He also worked with the Swiss partnership of Herzog & De Meuron in the design of the Bird’s Nest stadium for the Beijing Olympics.

The community of real milk.
I've been talking a lot about raw milk lately, but haven't really explained much of my own history and why I am so passionate about such a strange thing. While making my weekly journey to pick up my share of raw milk, the bright orange colors of the fall leaves stimula ...

Last night I had an amazing dream. It was about the current war between the small scale farming and the huge factory farm industry.

At the end of the trial he ordered our local Agister, Alice to stop milking our cows (poo ...

Living in an apartment I always have my eye on any bit of land that looks fertile or even just neglected. Gerrard Winstanley was one of the original land-redistribution a ...
