How to Pick Land: Good Enough is Perfect
There is a lot to consider when getting ready to pick land for farming— location, size, price, soil quality, water access, etc. When considering such factors, it is important to look beyond what a plot of land has at face value and consider its potential.

Human and Animal Alliances: A Mutual Partnership

To Garden is to be Resilient
Our gardens provide many things; food for our tables, flowers for our loved ones, even a pleasant way to spend sunny afternoons—but there’s so much more we can gain from our gardens. While we’re planting, weeding, and watering, we’re doing so much more than growing. We are building resilience, from the ground up. The following…
Draft Power: The Life-Affirming Alternative to "Big Ag"
Farmers young and old are seeking new ways to shrink their carbon footprint and promote more ecologically friendly ways of getting chores done. So, what’s a modern farmer to do?

Hemp History 101
The historical prominence of hemp can be seen in dozens of American towns that still bear its name, including Hempfield, PA, Hemphill, KY, Hempstead, NY, Hempfork, VA, and more.

A Short History of Agricultural Seed

Today, following the…

Why Cows are the Premier Dairy Choice
Let’s be honest… cows (should) rule the world. Well, at least the dairy world.

The following excerpt is from Keeping a Family…
