		<title>Home Birth : DIY Labor and Delivery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We first met Katherine and Todd through LocalHarvest.org as our closest Community Supported Agriculture provider. We quickly became interested in their story as small farmers trying to make a living growing food and selling it locally. Needless to say we started documenting work on their farm the week after we signed up for their CSA share. A month into taping, Katherine said "I hope this doesn't affect the story, but I'm three months pregnant". As you can see, it didn't just affect the story, it helped us go deeper into it, focusing on the fact that they were planning a home birth. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Milk, illegal? Yep. Unpasteurized, non-homogenized, raw milk is illegal for human consumption in 22 states (including my own Virginia!) because of &#8216;health&#8217; reasons. And probably because the milk lobby doesn&#8217;t want you to not buy milk from big industry. I ran across this article, More Dairies Go Raw, in The Boston Globe about how some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barn Wreck and Salvage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On our way across the country to Virginia (our new home!), we stopped by Erik Nelson's place in Vermont to help tear down a barn.
