There are students of simplicity and seek solace in the methods of our fathers. In a world where children believe
that eggs come from the store we struggle to relearn what an Amish child, or our great grandfathers took for granted.
We do not limit ourselves to a culture, but seek the best that other cultures have to offer. This growing season the
grandfathers of the first nation spoke to us and we tried - successfully - a three sisters garden. Food that we grow
ourselves that will sustain us, as it sustained the ancestors for generations.

On a small plot of land 100 ft by 100 ft it is possible to grow enough wheat to feed a small family. Using simple
traditional hand tools which are inexpensive to buy, inexpensive to maintain and will last a life time. It is
no different from growing grass and can be a bondingexperience for a family, a neighborhood, or a community.
