Does this really frighten….
….Big Ag (Monsanto) and Big Government (USDA)? Clearly they’re doing everything they can to prevent small farming from getting another grip on the country.
Personally, I don’t think there’s a chance though we’re believers, supporters and do-ers. The only way we’ll ever feed ourselves again is there’s a calamity and we’re forced to. The problem is, if that happens anytime after a few more years, there’ll be no more local knowledge to help us survive.
Still, I admire this Ohio couple.

We do raise our own greens and herbs, are members of a CSA for most of our vegetables, own a cow share for raw milk, and eat free range chickens and eggs. Oh, and we eat our own beef and pork….when we’re not sold out….which is most of the time.

Way to go, David & Wooz! The more people who do this, the more likely we are to preserve not only that local knowledge and wisdom, but also our very independence and freedoms of choice. Even in urban areas, people could do this if they would only make the commitment to do so.
