What you’re doing is incredible it’s a lot of work. There’s nothing better than being self-sufficient. Have you always lived on a farm, or is this something new for you?

I started with no experience or mentors about 10 years ago. Took about 5 years before things were moving along well enough to take the dive and go full time on the homestead. All the capital I'm building starts right here at home now.

That’s a great success. I imagine it was difficult at the start not everyone manages to run a farm full time. What led you to start this?

I wouldn't call what I'm doing farming as much as homesteading. I don't make much cash flow from natural capital as much as I save myself from having to buy food with the things I'm growing. In hindsight, I was in search of more sovereignty, but I just wanted to be able to take care of myself. Now, I'm participating in a revolution of people looking to make the world a better place.
