It combines all of Spoutwood's former websites and activities in one place!  Our hope is to create a one-stop portal for all things Spoutwood.  To provide a Central home for our far-flung and diverse Spoutwood family by gathering us all in one place, and hopefully getting more cross-pollination than ever before.  Our goal for this site is to be a resource for news and information regarding Spoutwood's events and programs and to help build a more inter-connected Spoutwood family.  Be sure to look around and see all that we have going on and what our future plans are. Register and sign in to take advantage of the new Spoutwood Forums as well (say goodbye Yahoo groups!).

In the meantime, you might find some weirdness with the site as we're essentially in an open beta at the moment. Please take it our for a spin and give it a good shakedown if you would. Report any bugs to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you would.

In other news, we are busy getting prepared for the May Day Fairie Festival, Mother Earth Harvest Fair and getting the CSA up and running for the upcoming season.  We have retooled the education program, aptly named the Sustainable Living Institute, and are eagerly soliciting ideas and energy to get it up and running as well.

Please check in regularly for news and updates!
