The following articles are written by the members past and present of CROFT. Each essay depicts a trade, a part of the Celtic lifestyle, or maybe an observation of the life of the Celtic people. We invite all our members to submit articles pertaining to the trades and customs that our organization emulates.
The articles are printer and browser friendly. Some may require the use of Adobe Reader.
Be sure to check out the Raising the Croft link below. It provides a slideshow of the early CROFT men erecting a replica period beam frame home. Enjoy!
