I'm a punk rock environmentalist farmer who grew up on a big, beautiful rural tract of wounded land, raised in a falling-down old 1800s farmhouse. Generations before me worked this land, which was formerly a much larger, more contiguous piece. Time, hardships, and housing developments have whittled it down to what it is now. Though I have inherited much equipment, space, and an interest in the outdoors, I do not have much benefit of the knowledge of my predecessors, and the old farm has been in disrepair and disuse for many years. However, a desire to eat and live well has driven me to absorbing vast amounts of knowledge about farming and the natural world, and caused me to seek small ways in which my inadequate bank account - and strong back - can improve my lot.
