Picked both our cherry and serviceberry trees. We’ve managed to get about a third of what’s ready to be picked.

For the record, I don’t believe in management. I don’t believe one should have to manage people. I believe if you hire the right people, they don’t have to be managed — the work simply gets done. If you have people you have to manage, you should fire them and replace them with people you don’t.

An Important reminder at Hunter Gatherer 21C: We are never just ourselves.

We are ourselves plus the world we move through. A human being is not a sealed unit but a creature in constant exchange with its surroundings: light and dark, warmth and cold, soil underfoot, water, the company of others. Take the natural half of that exchange away and something in us quietly begins to fade.

It’s time to go outside and play.

How to make a lifetime customer:

Pressure warning went off on car I just bought in January, took it to Discount Tire, they diagnosed (nail), repaired the leak, and rotated the still good tires… FOR FREE. Did not get these tires there. Just pure good customer service.

What we believe in.

I’ve had this café style bag from The Walking Company for over 35 years. It’s been all over the world ever since. Recently, it developed a couple of rips so I took it to Repair Lair and boy howdy did they do a, um, seamless patch up job. Fast service too! Ready for another few decades of service.
