About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

WOW, that is truly a beautiful site! I just love to see multicolored jars all snug in the cellar like that. The only thing I would do, probably just because I'm paranoid, would be to tack a tiny ledge onto the end of those boards to keep the jars from sliding off in the event of an earthquake, tornado or some other event that could shake the very foundation of a home. Wouldn't it suck to have all of your jars crash onto the floor just when you need them MOST!?

I'm glad you and Mark had a good time and got to socialize. I know building a community is on your list of To-Dos for this year and it sounds like you had a lot of fun.

Cheers,

Everett

Your ledge is a good idea, although we really don't get those kinds of weather events back here in our hollers. :-) Better safe than sorry, though!

Thank you for stopping by! I need to wander back over there and start up another permaculture conversation. :-)
