Meet the strangers-turned-landmates we are experimenting with in intentional community farming.  Beth and Spencer towed a tiny house onto our farmland in September of this year in exchange for labor on our farm.  How to trust and flow with a life shift that like that, keeping a "what if" mind during the whole process.  Imagine transitioning your life into a tiny house and moving it around nomadically.  Beth and Spencer share their love and wisdom of biodiversity, the merits of native plants, how to think about invasive species (including humans) and ways you can show up to an intentional relationship with the natural world.
