Who, How, What to Grow, and Eat in the Anthropocene ?
We’re Looking for a few good friends to grow food for friends we haven’t met yet.
Autumn into Winter is a very busy time prepping plants for transplanting , planting in hoop hoses and maintenance on equipment in barn w woodstove. Spring bud out is February here in zone 7. That prep decides months and years of the productivity of Plants and Animals
Can you join us and learn what we need to do to keep the plants, trees and animals healthy so we can share clean, nutritious foods? Producing food is as much about kitchen processing , preserving and even marketing.
Community is not about You. It’s not about Us either. Can we share in building the infrastructure, shelter and sustenance we all need ? Now you can go buy it. You can spend the day earning so you can spend it living alone with take out food . Has the nuclear family experiment destroyed millions of years of cooperation and service? Is The Milk of Human Kindness still growing in our Hearts?
You may be living in the first world now but that can change any time without your permission. Here, We are using our first world privilege to prepare for third world future resources.
Our priority is improving infrastructure, permaculture, waterworks and bracing for impact. We have all seen a few good disasters. Can we focus on helping each other as well as our greater community?
Some have come here who ‘like the idea’ of homesteading. It takes more then a mental curiosity. Now it may not be necessary to garden as long as the gas station has plastic meals. When you grow your own food you realize how cheep ( and toxic) gov. subsided food is. It takes 6-8 months to grow a nice head of celery worth $2-3. Here, you can harvest the outer stalks and keep growing it all year with hoop houses, plus it’s full of flavor and medicine. Good food is good for mental and body Health .
We are an Established farm, debt free with many buildings, much infrastructure in place, more to do. Lots of equipment, permaculture plantings, goat dairy, whey eating pigs, rabbits , bees. paying farm guests, solar electricity to build out, water guaranteed with many different irrigation systems and areas. The Farm is Private, not too remote with a large diverse acreage.
We Prepare farm products for our Pantry, for market, and farm guests. We fish, hunt, and forage as well.
We fight the laws thermodynamics, Entropy! Our constant care keeps the parade of decay, mold, gravity at bay.

Sorry no minors at this time. A car is handy. Plan on staying on Farm. We call this 3Dimentional Non Fiction. We are mindful not distracted w traumadrama.
Communities need independent food production. Most farms are run w grants , subsidies and estate beneficiaries. Maybe not long lasting. Maybe just a job. Many are accustomed to the job/ leisure dichotomy. Like 2 personalities .
Living and creating happen here all day. Yes, We stop and smell the Roses, and prune, mulch, manure and irrigate them and process fruit too. Permaculture is Permanent Care. This is Slow Food. There are peak windows in the year to plan, plant, harvest & think ahead for the Fruits of our labor…..Bigger then the 2dimentional fiction world of screens
