A V-Log tour of our suburban permaculture home in Spring 2020

Check out our home food production system in its toddler stage, and before the leaves come back.

With the inevitable collapse of the neoliberal scheme of greed and war, I see humanity's only hope in communities working together to grow food locally, supported by small local farms, but mostly--and most defensibly--in collections of people growing intensively in yards and cooperating in crop choice and rotation.

I call it hyper-local agriculture. I believe that after this crisis, especially if the food distribution system starts to wobble, people will be looking for genuine alternatives to the way we grow and distribute food all over the world.

I'm building a model of a system based on permaculture and other inspiring people's work, that I hope to share with my neighbors.

Nothing I'm doing is original, but I try to find the simplest methods, the cheapest methods, and the ones that will be accessible to anyone willing to give it a lazy try.

Here's the video I put together with the kids. I plan on doing a number of these as the seasons change this year and maybe into the future.
