After leaving the city and turning away from national politics, the group of mostly young city slickers became pioneers in the back-to-the-land and organic farming movement. With the help of their neighbors, they spent the first five years learning rudimentary agricultural skills as well as how to live and work with each other as a communal family. In 1973 when the local utility proposed a giant twin nuclear plant four miles from the Montague Farm, they became active opponents and, eventually, leaders in the burgeoning No Nukes movement – from the battles over the Seabrook nuclear plant to Diablo Canyon in California and scores of reactor sites in between. By 1979, their efforts culminated in a five night concert series in Madison Square Garden featuring Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, John Hall, Graham Nash, and other committed stars. An illuminating glimpse of how youthful idealism flourished to become a driving force in the emerging antinuclear movement, Far Out “provides a hopeful blueprint for activists today… a raucous, even joyous celebration of hope and ingenuity, warts and all.” - Dennis Perkins, Portland Press Herald
