Welcome

I'll be blogging about our family's experiments in home-scale, sustainable, subsistence farming. We're embarking on this little adventure for a whole slew of reasons ranging from simple pleasure to social and environmental responsibility. I'm hoping to keep the content here practical rather than political - what we build, grow and raise, what works and what doesn't. But suffice it to say that while I am not a doomer, I am also not a fool. For our family, consuming to the point of necessitating the deprivation of others (now or in the future) felt irresponsible, and I suspect that change is coming whether we adapt to it gracefully or not.
