This book offers a fantastic look at the history of traditional farming and gives actionable advice for how we can transition to growing food within our communities.

Would we recommend it? Yes! To anyone who felt like they might want to farm or have a garden that grows food.

After reading this, we feel inspired to start growing food and learning more about homesteading techniques that we can share within our communities.

Even though we can connect and share information globally, one thing that we notice month over month is that the real solutions to long-term sustainability are based in community -  governance, advocacy, energy, gardening, homesteading, and community living.

Over the past 100 years, we have stepped further and further away from our local communities, to the point now where we are losing the hands-on information we will need when fossil fuel energy isn't available to us anymore.

So this week, we decided to start trying to think and act in a more community-based way.

To take one single step on the journey towards community living - whether that means meeting your neighbors or finding a new homesteading skill to take on - join our little challenge!
