From the Author
Urban reviewers find it hard to care viscerally about the loss of farms, and the villages where highschool classmates still marry each other and families have lived on the same land for 200 years and work with their actual hands and tools and skills. Most reviewers think I'm pretty darn brave to live out here with neither streetlights nor sidewalks, bears and mountain lions on the lawn, and no neighbor within shouting distance. But hey. It's sad that ten years ago I was looking down into the valley at cows & peaches & apples & corn, where now the golf courses and Executive Estates spread far and wide. It was nice once to think we could at least feed ourselves locally and fire up our woodstoves, whatever happened to the crops in California or the oil in Iran. Remember: all proceeds from this book go to support a struggling writer on a windswept mountaintop!

Store description
Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we¿re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There¿s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.…
