You’re not gonna like my answer. Getting the jab was a choice but so is where you live. It’s a choice to move to the country and learn to raise your own food. We did it 10 years ago and when I say it was challenging that’s an understatement. But would I do it again? Hells yeahhhhh. And did my husband take an incredible pay cut to do it? …

Another answer you won’t like is I don’t feel like it’s my job to feed millions of ppl. Why don’t they grown their own food and raise their own animals? Lawns should be growing food than using all those pesticides!
Anyway, just like our monetary system I don’t have a solution for the masses.
What you’ve just described is Tolkien’s “Shire” where everyone works the land and lives a simple life in harmony with each other. I left CA in 2014 but did not have the foresight to purchase a rural property. Now I find myself back in CA taking care of my mother 24/7 to keep my siblings from putting her in a nursing home. I have to ride it out now and trust that this is all divine will and I am here for a purpose. I love that you were able to create such a fine experience! I still dream about it and hope one day I can get out of here and find my own garden in this life.
Thank you so much for the blessing! xox This experience is turning me inside out but it also has a positive effect in showing me who I really am and squashing much of the fear that once ruled my life <3 Much love and abundance to you M Varr!
I am going to "grow where I'm planted". Got the garden started and I had chickens where I lived before now in the care of others. Going to try again here with a smaller flock. You'll know which child will be the one. I can see now how I was always meant to hold my mom's hand as she crossed the threshold. xox Oh, and my younger sister is named Christy ;).
It really doesn’t take much so that’s awesome!!!! I swear there is something in dirt to make your soul sing. Lol. And last august my bother, sister and mom were all talking and laughing around my dad as he passed. It was not of this earth. I wouldn’t trade it for anything!!!! I hope you like your younger sister. Lol
Yes! There is something about that energy exchange that has a "charge" to it! Sorry to hear about your dad but the way you all helped him brings tears to my eyes. My dad died almost eight years ago now and it changed me forever. Something I wrote for my pops http://banjocatcreative.com/six-years/ & yes, I love my sister ;).
There is nothing necessarily wrong with your answer. Unfortunately, it isn’t in the cards for everyone for many various reasons. The thread wouldn’t be long enough to list them all 😂.
I applaud your family for doing it as I know it couldn’t have been easy. I would love to be able to do what you describe, as would a lot of people. So the trick is to find places locally to support by purchasing from them. I do think we as people need to sacrifice the junk food, the $7 coffees, eating out for convenience among many other things to afford to eat a healthier life style. Some of us need to learn to cook! We can afford safer and more quality foods if we forgo the unhealthy luxuries we’ve become accustomed to.
But you are correct. It is about sacrifices. Monetarily, possessions, keeping up with the Joneses, etc. Simplicity. Scaling down. Necessities rather than wants.
I also don’t think it’s my job to feed the world or nation of millions. However, if we really do what you suggest and only take care of our own and skip over everyone else what kind of people would we be? There is a piece that includes a community of people. There are elderly, disabled, abandoned, and the list goes on.
So it’s rather simplistic to say everyone go buy a farm and feed yourself and let everyone else figure out their own stuff.
It used to be that even people in cities had small gardens and chickens. Now regulations limit or prevent that. I’ve heard of movements that are trying to revive those traditions in modern cities.

May God Bless you for sacrificing for your mom and someday show you the way to your garden.

You can start with just growing herbs. And you are blessed being able to take care of your mom like that!!! I pray one of my 4 will do the same💜💜💜

Wow. Just wow. Very beautiful!!!! Totally agree. Seeing my dad will change me forever! Thank you for sharing!

But, I think you raise some good points.
And I completely agree. In our community elderly are well taken care of. I don’t know about most communities but ours is blessed!
Agreed! Feeding others is a blessing that returns blessings tenfold and more.
