Augie Gardens
[Official Website]

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace.

To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden.

(Aldo Leopold, 1949, A Sand County Almanac)

How this website was made
We wanted to make our website as self-sustainable as possible. So, we decided to use open-source libraries called Hugo and Doks. These two libraries are the backbone of our website, requiring minimal maintenance. The only maintenance required is whenever we get updates on our contents. Also, since we use GitHub Pages to host our website, hosting our website doesn't cost us any money.
