The Foxfire Project

Learning from the Past

In the midst of the Coronavirus Crisis, I’ve decided to use my time wisely and study the Foxfire book series. I’ll be posting about what I learn and try from the books.

My great grandmother grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in Eastern Kentucky. I used to love the stories of how she grew up. She was a resourceful lady that would survive through any crisis because of how she was raised. She wanted to write down everything she remembered about how she grew up but never accomplished it before she passed away when I was 19.

I feel like these books are filled with the knowledge that she would have shared. Knowledge that most of us don’t have anymore. Let’s explore and learn together.
