Farm to Forms – the Epicness of Trying to Establish and Run a Farm in France
If I only had one wish, it would be to spend more time with my sheep and less with my computer… because you can eat a leg of lamb with onions and cooked carrots… you can’t feed a nation on paper and computer components.
This Forgotten Valley
That in this blighted landscape there are still places of settled beauty is a comfort: a chance to glimpse what went before and could be again.
Deep Winter Beauty
Deep winter has given me enough time to take a long pause to appreciate what I have. At this moment. Whatever I have right in front of me.

The anger of Europe’s farmers is largely justified, but it is heading for dangerous territory. A transition to agroecology is urgently needed in the interests of all farmers.

Why Small Farming Is Essential for Creating a Sustainable Future
With more farmers today than at almost any point in history, humanity’s future will likely be agrarian. We must imagine that world into being.
The energetic implausibility of manufactured food revisited
The issue is no longer our individual consumption choices within an existing global commodity food system, if it ever was. Like it or not, that system is unravelling, and I think the result is going to be the widespread adoption of low-energy local food systems.
Victory gardens
Imagine Hollywood celebrities campaigning for backyard gardens, and America’s best-selling music stars singing songs about patriotic recycling. It may sound crazy, but that actually happened 80 years ago.
