We are hoping to travel Europe (Lisa once lived there and Stephen has never been!) in 2016 together for our honeymoon. Do you know places we could/should stay? Do you have airline miles you need to use? Do you just want to throw in a couple bucks so we can celebrate? This is how you can do that :)

Available from our favorite diner in West Brattleboro, the Chelsea Royal Diner has been open since 1939 and serves up the best in farm to table, affordable, VT deliciousness. Go check em out!

Winter is challenging in Vermont, share your favorite good novel from your youth to help carry us through the blizzards. We prefer used over new books, and non-Amazon to Amazon vendors (just FYI).

Those chickens look healthy, and we love their eggs. Maybe one day we'll get our own...

Our current one is 6 years old, on its last legs...

For when Stephen has to fix something under the truck or mower.

Help us get off the grid and generate all our own power.

This is the future of stored energy: the Tesla home battery, for when the sun doesn't shine and your lights need to.

We go through work gloves rapidly.

Heating water is one of the single largest expenditures of energy in a home. This will dramatically help our ability to heat water efficiently, and power it with renewable energy from the sun or our pond/stream.

For future adventuring off-the-grid...

Nothing stops Lisa from running.

Raga needs some fly kicks for winter and longer hikes...

For flowers and herbs all around the property.

There are many hummingbirds in our woods, our porch could become the local watering hole...

Raga chews on all our deer heads, so we thought we should get a fake one for decor...

We have our dream spot, now it just needs to become sound, self-reliant, and productive! We need to restain/rechink the logs in the cabin, and fix the roof. An energy audit and efficiency work were done and now we dream to install a micro hydro system, heat pumps, solar, and more to get the property off the grid. Nut trees, berries and more to be planted in the acreage. Contribute now towards our zero-energy homestead and visit frequently to enjoy the fruits for years to come...

Stephen used to cut, chop, & sell firewood, and now we have the woods to heat our own home, just not the chainsaw to harvest and buck up the trees. Pitch in to help us stay warm and manage the land responsibly.

It's Vermont, the produce is awesome, we just need to make it last year round. We make killer sauerkraut, you'll have to stop by once it's ready... and the blueberry jam, yummm.

This is an essential lumberjack tool that we'll need to turn logs while chainsawing.

To enjoy the willow tree by the pond...

We each need these just to get around in the deep winter.

To sit in by the pond, in homage to where Lisa grew up and Stephen was born.

We're hoping to blow-up one of our wedding prints on a canvas like this...

We'd love a small one of these maps, done of Philly.
