“There are so many distractions at home, and I can’t always get into a deep work zone,” Brooks confides. “I’ll be working on music and realize I need to register the kids for camp or pay that bill…”‘Sunlight streaming, children screaming. Open windows and neighbours hearing…’ — Tomorrow, Caroline Marie Brooksrequires a prolific output of recorded material. And so, Brooks endeavored to find a space to get away to that would channel and inspire her creativity.
Together, the couple developed the land so that it serves their myriad interests. A simple trailer from the 1970’s offers living quarters, and a working hay farm enables them to engage with the community. Love does local workshops on beekeeping and maple syrup tapping, while Brooks finds her creative workflow by tending to her garden.
The garden both asks of Brooks and gives back, with the weeding, watering, and turning of the soil demanding total focus, and the focused work helping to quiet the noise of the outside world.
