Farm Starts Here.

The adventures of young back to landers, leaver people. Homesteading, small scale farming, foraging, hunting, free thought schooling, immigration and more.

While I dream of 'our' 12 wooded acres in North West Arkansas on a daily basis and long to be home, I also try hard  to accept my lot in life today in New York, to help my self along I decide- the farm must start here.
It has to start somewhere. The seed was planted in my head along time ago that if I could provide most of my own food- not only would I and my family who I strive to also provide for be much healthier for it in every aspect, but, that also I would not be at the whim of  tyrannical government, nor the economic problems that go part and parcel with the corporate pirate system that we are not so blessed to have think that they are controlling us. You can not control a man who provides his own food.

Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Liberal all pretty much boils down to the same thing when its the corporations who are in control. A republic is supposed to be a citizen run government and when it is again we will have this country back. The economy is not coming back. Not until it is realized that the economy is dependent on the environment. We must leave behind our old policy of 'Earth first, we'll strip mine the other planets later'.

The farm can and should start here for anyone who feels touched to do so. We need small farms. The industrialists are slowing killing us and the planet with the old way of doing things. Every house hold can do something to provide food for them selves and maybe even others. The odds are stacked and heavily regulated but more and more want local, chemical free, healthful, not genetically altered food. The more people that start farming now in a responsible manner- the sooner that poisoning our selves and planet will no longer be profitable, and when its not profitable- big business has no interest. Small farming can feed the country and it can be profitable!

'Beyond Organic' farms are needed. No need for a USDA stamp when you are the farmer or you know the farmer.

So slowly I start. The vegetable garden is looking beautiful and the rabbits and their young are growing safe and healthy- without being fed a single GMO grain, or any grain for that matter.

Soon the 12 acres of woods will surround us again in Arkansas. For now I start the transformation in New York.
