Here's what we call the "Hawk's Head" our version of an 18th Century Public House.   The stone wall in front of the house was built by a crew of three men in a little less than 6 days using native granite and gneiss.   The wall has no mortar, true to old world tradtion.   The house itself is a post-and-beam structure and was milled in Vermont using White Pine.

Here's our 12 foot diameter water wheel, used to drive a 150 pound hammer in the small forge area behind the wheel.    For those of you interested in learning black-smithing, we sponsor at least one (and maybe two) "blacksmithing weekends" for beginners.   Klauss Duebbert, our farm blacksmith, will send you home with forged iron work of your own making.

Here's a view looking through the necessary breezeway, up towards Wilshire peak.    The apparatus you can see in the hallway is a sink and hand pump.   Those are apple trees to the left of the necessary.   (We actually do get people calling us to see whether we have any apples on the trees this time of year.)

Here's another view of the stone wall looking up through the orchard.
