Menku and Kay work in the basement of the Green Leaf Café, a localized tea plantation (a reclaimed cemetery) and sipping spot in northeast PDX, now a proud member of Cascadia.

Noah’s honey rust fortress ("junk yard permaculture").

New Myth #21

by Willi Paul, openmythsource.com

-- excerpt --

Noah’s camp is more like an ameba, built with multiple rings: gnarly steel and mashed-down upholstery;
