see Hobo Chefin' pics

* Hobo Chefin' is a farm tradition that has evolved from our earliest days of dream chasing,farm construction,
and often after a long days work... We would hang at the fire pit to cook, eat, gloat & scheme...

Farmish funk, ingenuity and need for ease has moved us along from the pit, to tarp drawn shanties to what
is now our cookin' shack...
