Red Earth Farm is home to Janisse Ray & Raven Waters. Janisse is a well-known environmental activist and author. My family came to know her when her first book was published and we’ve always been honored to call her a friend. (Ecology of a Cracker Childhood; Wild Card Quilt; Pinhook; Drifting into Darien; and The Seed Undergroundare among her works.) Raven, originally from western New York, oversees the operations of the farm and is an accomplished potter and artist.
At the heart of Red Earth Farm is the beautifully restored circa-1850 Pearson Farmhouse.
The farm is primarily for Janisse and Raven’s personal use, though they do limited retail with vegetables and livestock.

2012 Miniature Space Odyssey
Slinkachu meets Arthur C. Clarke in this (belated) DIY Valentines Day gift.
“Monoliths are fictional advanced machines built by an unseen extraterrestrial species that appear in Arthur C. Clarke’s Space Odyssey series of novels and films. During the series, three monoliths are discovered in the solar system by humans and it is revealed that thousands if not more were created throughout the solar system, although none are seen. The subsequent response of the characters to their discovery drives the plot of the series. It also influences the fictional history of the series, particularly by encouraging humankind to progress with technological development and space travel.
The first monolith appears in the beginning of the story, set in prehistoric times. It is discovered by a group of hominids, and somehow triggers a considerable shift in evolution, starting with the ability to use tools.” (read more on Wikipedia)
