What is home?   We all have a sense for this--the places where we feel at home, the people that create it with and for us. It is a place where we eat, rest, sleep, laugh, get sick, cry, celebrate, learn, and recognize each other. In Triform, our houses are our homes and are central places of self-development, relationship building, and skill acquisition. 

The Frosted Calf The Churchtown Dairy has seen many calves born this summer. One however, stands out brightly for us this season. Born three weeks ago, this Brown Swiss frosted heifer calf stands out with its glow. Is this image a collection of our pure intentions gathered over summer's work and devotion? Like a star, raised and possibly offered to the depths and vastness of winter nights to come. The land and the herd feel good here at Churchtown Dairy. Soon the the beautiful display of fall's colors will vanish. This calf, with its white glow as a symbol, will dissolve and be absorbed into the winter's cosmic white.

Family and Friends gathering  October 24 th 2015 Families visiting for Friends and family This year we invited friends and family to come a little later in the month for a fun, activity filled day. We hosted an intimate dinner and had productive conversation in the conference room on Friday night for the Journeymen families. During this, the Journeymen themselves went out for an enjoyable meal at a diner, which a generous person in the restaurant paid for! 

Harvest 2015  Every year the gardens at Triform provide.  This year it was a good growing season supported by an enthusiastic garden crew. We are very fortunate to have productive land and the knowledgeable and hardworking crew to sow, tend and harvest the bounty.  In this intentional community, we strive to provide much of what we need for everyday life: milk from the dairy cows; vegetables from the garden; dishes made in our pottery studio; all things we do not take for granted and for which we give thanks.
