About
I am the creator and moderator of hyperlocavore.com a free yard sharing community! I built the site to help people get in touch with like minded others who are hoping to set up a yard sharing arrangement, a group garden or a urban CSA of linked yards. We also want to support group efforts as a group via tools to organize, hold events, plan your gardens. The site is free, available to all. Starting a new yard sharing program in your community takes about 2 minutes.

After 25 years in the tech field as a web strategist for non-profits and user interface specialist, I’ve moved to the country. I am a farm nerd, and geek I must. I started Hyperlocavore - A Free Yard Sharing Community to encourage people to grow food with their friends, family and neighbors. It’s a social networked yard sharing community dedicated to help you build resilience in your neighborhood. I’m blogging here about the experience of building the site, helping communities and all the things I will be doing at the farm where I live in very rural Eastern Oregon.

If you are interested in hiring me for consulting work please take a look at my LinkedIn profile. I can help you with twitter design, web design, ning design, web strategy, online organizing and a long list of other projects to help you stay sassy in these tough times. I can sharpen your online presence, help you find your niche audience, improve your Google placement, drive traffic to your site, edit your blog posts and ensure you web presence highlights what makes you stand out. I am also available for writing assignments as well as general consulting on making your home or office sustainable. Get in touch if you are interested in talking about my services. I am focused on working with people and organizations that are serious about pushing back catastrophic climate change and building local resilience through thriving communities.

Remember - There's only two things that money can't buy, that's true love and homegrown tomatoes!

Here's an interview I did recently on aboutharvest.com.

I've been a fan of Janine Benyus for years and was luck enough to see her speak in NYC a few years ago.

As for biomomicry - My goal is to be a global mycelium sprouting benificial mushrooms, of a sort across, the globe. Those 'mushrooms' are small yard sharing arrangements between friends, family and neighbors to grow food closer to home and while doing so create true community resilience.


Happy Growing!
