Summary:
In 1972, a boxcar left Toronto with a menagerie of farm animals and an eager young couple and pulled into the station platform in Kingston, Nova Scotia. They were bound for a deserted hundred-acre farm on the South Mountain in Harmony, determined to preserve the foundations of farmsteads past while constructing a geodesic dome. They were pioneers of the future, armed with respect for tradition and an irrepressible sense of humour. They were back-to-the-landers. Farming was an industry and their calling was sustainability. Over the next forty years, through flood and fire, triumph and catastrophe, they persevered.
