This year, the intentional rural community called Dragonfly Farm marks its 30th anniversary. "Back to the Land 2.0" is a gathering celebrating this historic occasion and expanding on Dragonfly's legacy.

At this gathering we'll be reflecting on the ideals of the back-to-the-land movement of the 70s and 80s, and exploring how to make those ideals relevant and practical today.

charette

Thursday July 10th...

(What the heck's a charette, you ask? According to wikipedia - the word charrette may refer to any collaborative session in which a group of designers or other folks drafts a solution to a design problem)...

We are a group of Toronto-based activists, cultural workers and trades-people who got this land… cheap, spur of the moment, beaver-swampy, moose-trodden, kilometer-off-the-road never-on-the-grid old homestead – pretty and hung with the thick air of a long history. Something you could love. We called it Blackfly.
