Wood from Eden is a husband and wife team, consisting of Anders L (the husband) and Tove K (the wife). We live in the countryside of southern Sweden and we have six children. We live as much as possible from our land: We build our own houses, grow our own vegetables and make our own glulam. Not because we are technophobes. We just think that technology should be carefully chosen in order to serve the human race. Instead of being engulfed by modern society, we strive at choosing the aspects of modern society that we think makes human life better.

In this respect, we write as we live: in the outskirts of civilization. Just as we try to pick and choose the best sides of civilization in our personal lives, we think it is possible for large groups of humans to pick the best parts of civilization and leave the rest behind. We aim at an open discussion on what is possible, and desirable to achieve.

On our free and paid versions

Wood From Eden consists of a free part and a paid part.

Every serious article, articles with some sort of public interest, are free to read for all. For the paid section we write more personal articles, texts (and photos) about how we live our life out in the woods and shorter and more casual ramblings. These are things we do not really wish to share with all the search engines, and as such are very well suited for a closed off paid publication.

We are very grateful that people choose to pay for our writing. But we also don't want to restrict our paid content to people from countries with strong currencies, high-earners and people with no dependents to care for. For that reason, we also have a pay-what-you-like function. If you are interested in our paid content but not in the position to pay 8 dollars a month, send us an email to woodfromeden [at] gmail.com with the headline “Comp request”. Write me a sentence or two about who you are, plus-minus, and we will grant you access, no questions asked. And maybe you buy us a coffee once in a while at https://ko-fi.com/WoodFromEden
