CURRENT MISSION

What does the fourth dimension smell like?

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the bulk section of a natural foods store in a fogged-in, redwood-shrouded liberaltopia in northern California. I went to college in San Diego and Buenos Aires. Lately I've been living and working on farms and teaching SF Bay Area kids about the sources of their food. Sometimes I even wear overalls.

PHILOSOPHY

You are what you is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a cook, farmer, writer, and musician. I'll recite you a Yoko Ono poem and play you a mouth harp lullaby around a bonfire. He estudiado español, y siempre me gusta practicar. Can you teach me how to draw? I'd also like to learn more about growing medicinal herbs.
