With all the crazy bullshit going on, I’ve often wondered how realistic it is for people to leave the city and farm. Like going the Amish way. I have zero knowledge other than my garden, so I’m looking for more information.
Have there been any good studies or analysis of how realistic it would be to abandon modern work culture and return to farming?
Just requested it from the library. Our composting in place garden has been producing a ton over three last year. We have lots of berries now and have a lot of functional plants in our urban yard. It’s mostly teas, medicinals and some cut flowers but we can get lots of use out of it. When you really try there is a lot of space to grow what you need even in a small space if you prioritize. I can’t feed myself but good supplemental for high value things
