Stool for our little Toad. A late June Pleurotus?
Hello Friends of our Forest.
It is a little over a year since we kicked off our Community Supported Forestry Project here at Driftless Farm.
Since its inception, we have hosted over 8 workshops, countless camping trips, community gardens, staff retreats, a winter greens CSA, spring water deliveries, shipments of milled lumber and firewood, and even had a sexy turkey decoy spend some early mornings trying to lure a mate!
Some of you appreciated close-contact interactions with the forest, some of you took its abundance into your city homes. A couple of you have yet to redeem your full membership value.
As for the future of the CSF: it has been the most exciting melding of Roald, Derek and my passions– forestry, cottage industry, and community. But it has been dwarfed by the increased demand for Whole Trees Architecture and Construction, which has demanded tremendous focus on our parts over the last many months as it gains in popularity.
For this reason the CSF must remain on a simmer until we settle into this new plateau of growth within Whole Trees. I hope that at some point in the next year, I can return to promoting and maintaining a strong CSF. Until then, I assist with our exciting building projects:
