This is the second of a new series where we post things that don't go to plan on the farm.  Life here at Ridgedale is amazing, establishing a pioneering project in this beautiful land with incredible folks coming from around the world to contribute their unique gifts, strengths and talents in an intensive & caring learning environment.  As with any farm or project of this nature, things are not always smooth.  In todays world of image saturated social media its mostly polished images and what is going well for folks that is shared.  We're here to serve as a unique and potent learning site as well as a productive farm and so we feel it is our responsibility to share the sides often hidden from the public eye as well as all the rest.  This is where learning really happens, this is where the creative solutions swell up so naturally in everyone committed to be of benefit and frankly we need more of it.  When things die or get sick, break or cause shocking unintended consequences, this is where deep learning can occur. The challenges and failures are equally meaningful and stimulating as the frequent triumphs and amazement that goes on in this place.  We just love it.  The total openness with which we run this place, from sharing our business, decisions, perspectives and personal lives with out Interns and training participants is one very clear aspect of what makes this place so special.  We hope sharing these experiences will be of benefit to those of you who follow our activities from around the world.  We also hope it inspires more to write up and share their challenges & failures; it's a great way we can serve each other...
