We're Live on Hipcamp !!



We're Live on Hipcamp !!

 

Well, we finally took the plunge and listed Part of our Farm in Packwood on Hipcamp.
 
If you don't know about Hipcamp find more here.
 
We Listed the Parcel that is 1 acre in size and are starting with 7 Primitive sites that people can pitch a tent. as time goes on we'll add more amenities like composting toilets, Running water etc.
7 site Plan.


 
Our Long term plan is to develop it into a 20-30 site with spots for RV back-in's with a main cabin with a retail store on the bottom and a rentable upper second level. We want to dedicate one spot for  campground Host./ Farm Assistant
The idea is also to provide places for people to stay while we conduct Permaculture/sustainable
Farming Seminars



Our grandiose plan ends up having 35 tent sites anywhere from 12' X 25' to 30' X 50' multi family sites. 7 RV Sites and 5 Yurts. To check out our Listing click on the "book on HIPCAMP LOGO BELOW. THANKS.

Honeybee Conservation Program

the USDA has a program to provide finiciancial asstance to set aside land for honeybee protection it's called :


Honey Bee Habitat | Agricultural Productivity | Wildlife Habitat

In other news,


Actor Morgan Freeman declared that he has created a " Bee Sanctuary" to save the bees.
ok, well I have to admire anyone wanting to do their part for the honey bee but come on Morgan, 25 hives Really??  I also read that he is not going to do any intervention for mites, diseases etc.  I would like to see his records on how many of those 25 hives survived the first winter of 2015, 2016 etc ect. What do I really think, well it's just a publicity stunt. now Morgan, if you were really serious about the plight of the Honeybee how about donating say, 100K to a university doing research on CCD.
