About
Stony Creek is the lifeblood of Glenn County, California. In 1910 the waters of Stony Creek – a tributary of the Sacramento River originating in the Coast Range Mountains – opened up the region for settlement by means of a federal water reclamation project. Cheap, irrigated land attracted settlers from all over the country but predominantly from the midwestern states. Today the same waters irrigate our family pasture, which in turn sustains our small herds of dairy goats and Dexter cattle.
I’m a 43 year-old traditional Catholic, a married father of five, and a fourth-generation Californian who loves living in the north Sacramento Valley. In this space you can expect commentary on Catholicism, culture, politics, homesteading, and things merely personal. The title of this web log is meant to suggest local priorities – that is to say, a commitment to the good of my family and neighbors who live within a “stone’s throw” of Stony Creek.
