Concepting on The Shire

a little more on AtomFarm.com ...
and a little concepting on "The Shire" to be built in Mississippi on Paul's property. He's hiring some bulldozers to scoop out areas to get things started. The sketches may look like chicken scratch, but the gist of it would be one main kitchen welcome room where there would be a stone hearth about waist high. when occupied, there would be a constant fire and would direct the passage of heat out of the interior up through a vent. would also be used for hot water, baking, food, and warmth. this is the heart, the hearth, of the home. coves would branch out to individual living quarters or other rooms like an entertainment/media room or bathroom.

Just ideas on paper now.

TED Q&A with Chef Dan Barber: Can organic farming feed the world?

Brilliant. I know I'm doing something right when I come across things like this with no prior knowledge of it. "There's been a huge change in consciousness."

It's all happening.

In regards to a introductory questionnaire I filled out for a farm on Maui.

Hi Adam

Marta and I are both inspired by your responses and experiences.

We're in the process of installing a photovoltaic system as of this week - working with
a long time friend who has morphed from the jewelry biz to sustainable energy systems. We're also planing to build a ferro-cemet water tank -5000 gallon- back up system.

On Maui the zoning for Ag property allows 200 sq ft farm buildings to be unpermitted. We could build a geodome - the details could be manageable. Marta and I will be available for a phone call before 8 am or after noon Mon-Fri.

Marta will have our availability dates so we can make a plan with you.

Let us know when you can talk.

Sincerely,
Bill Greenleaf

Progress baby. Progress. It's all happening. Maui! Fucking Maui!

AtomFarm in the worx

I've finally figured it out, striking me like a bolt of lightning. Branding myself and creating an aesthetic has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. And how would I even represent Atom Farm from both sides?

It's 3:48am and I'm producing like crazy. I've been so fueled the last few weeks, its uncanny. New freelance clients rolling in with bigger and better jobs making it almost necessary to hire some extra design help. So the pressure gets to me in creative, rewarding ways.

Branding Atom Farm beyond the design studio has been a real challenge. How do I integrate the complexities of my respect for nature and showcase that aspect of the The Farm while it's intermingling with a corporate design portfolio. And that's when it hit me. The very nature of an atom is the sub particulate composition of all matter, which usually evokes the idea of the height of science. And conversely a farm is representative of all that is organic and sewn, grown and cultivated from the earth.

This is precisely what Atom Farm is. A blend of the harnessing power of technology and science intermingling with respect for our Earth and a tuned consciousness.

I think this is working out so far. Oh, I should mention this is an idea for the website. It will have animated parts, and fold out graphics to reveal portfolio, about us, contact, etc.

But also, if you click Atom, it will take you to the designy projecty things. If you click Farm, it will take you to the sustainability endeavors and research. A blend of the two. Like myself, I suppose.

Admission

A spotty drizzle of fear hits me, and I think far too deep for the
road directly before be. I admit that fear exists.
