The Gravel Drive philosophy is to treat each other how we would approach each other on a gravel road...where nearing cars automatically seem to move over for one another, show grace, lower their speeds, wave, and help each other with directions.

Once we outsource our manners and social contracts to rules and "advancements" we become more distant and less collaborative. Think of those same two cars on a freshly paved, lined, lit, and rule-bound road...they cut each other off, honk, speed, glare at each other and zip past their surroundings.

This is why Gravel Drive is a movement towards older ways and methods. Handmade over machine processed. Locally sourced over outsourced. Supporting each other rather than competition. Quality and connection over fast and viral. Person to Person over viral.
