We welcome readers to contribute — to add to this history. If you were a Prince Edward Island back-to-the-lander — or rubber booter, granola bar, or any other form of 'hippie-commie-weirdo-freak' – or a child of back-to-the-landers, or if your Island life brought you in contact with back-to-the-landers, we would love to hear from you.

You can send your own stories or let us interview you by contacting amaceach@uwo.ca or filling out our contact form. We would also love to post your photos from that era.
