Small Farming

Small farming, in the era of climate change, is a gesture of hope and surrender. Hope, that the human connection to earth can heal the disconnection modern society has engineered; and surrender to the great divine because the unknowns are far too heavy to carry alone.

We spent a season in 2021 farming for income. You can read about how much we produced and our experience here:

Our first-generation, climate-change era, farmer's declaration:

We do not want

easy answers
cheap chemicals
short-term rewards for long-term consequences
dependency on machines fueled by dependencies on finite or destructive resources

We want

to leave this lethargic planet, even if it's just the soil we touch, better than we found it
for every decision we make to consider every stakeholder on this planet, micro and macro
to resurrect the sacredness of nature and of our own existence
to nourish and not just simply feed those who eat the harvests of this effort
