North of San Francisco, across the mythic Golden Gate inlet, lay the rolling hills of Marin and Sonoma counties, golden in summer, verdant in winter. For many of the Haight's denizens, suffering burnout, ennui or police heat, the siren call of the North drew their embattled souls to the land of the red-tailed hawk and live oak shrub. Morningstar was the first refuge with an open land policy. Founded by Lou Gottlieb, a former member of the folk-singing trio Limeliters, Morningstar was known as the "digger farm" in the Haight, supplying apples and other organic fruits and vegetables to the Free Food programs.The Morning Star Scrapbook details the story of the commune by the people that lived there. A fascinating historical document.
