Robert Schulz and his family live on their ‘New Traditions Homestead’ in rural Hillsboro, WI, a project they started in 2004. Features of their farm include natural building, alternative energy and water systems, organic market produce and gardening, draft horse power, and a working blacksmith shop. Robert has been blacksmithing for 15 years, doing custom commissions and teaching hands-on courses to folks of all ages. He is co-founder of the Driftless Folk School, hosts interns, and holds various workshops annually, intent on sharing skills and the possibilities of an alternative lifestyle with others.
