Michelle, where are you? Our homestead is in Crandall off hwy 411, but still live in town(Alpharetta) during the week. Look on CL and if you can find anything between Atlanta and Crandall, we could easily make a pick up for you...Maybe for an egg or two?

Don't be ascairt. Fear is a state of mind, often propagated by your parents, the government and mean people who want to control you. I know I'm speaking as a male of the species, but I've bred two women. One is a black belt, pistol carrying denizen of Atlanta's Southside and the other is just plain old scary...We're talking Taliban scary. Both have really nice hair. You need to take control of your own mind. Be fierce and nobody's patsy. Acquire the skills that make you a force and not a victim. You can't fear trivial things such as death, as it is inevitable. The rest are only opportunities for advancement. I support the right to bear arms and German Shepards, but I insist on the proper qualifications to bear both. Like my Grampa used to say, "Suck it up buttercup, help ain't comin." If you can't handle it, don't do it.


I fear being alone in the woods with children. Esther's the bravest one here, lemme tell you what.

I can grow more plants if needed. I'm really hoping the cold did a number on the bugs! The bugs were ridiculous last year. All the rain flooded the grass field for days and now it's all froze. I want the chiggers to suffer bad.

If it were me, I'd consider a shipping container. Don't know what your neighborhood looks like, but I can hide the hell out of shipping containers and they make some great workshops. Already has doors, or you can add more doors, windows, stairs to an upper deck, what have you. Especially if you have metal working skills. Sure they look like hell when they show up, but you can cover that up real easy.

We pray to Gaia and bury the bodies in a Hugel bed.


Seriously though, call a Farm Bureau Insurance agent. I've had pretty good luck with them being honest and not trying to sell me stuff I don't need. And read the internet to educate yourself http://www.agweb.com/article/farm_liability_insurance_do_you_have_enough_coverage/

I would recommend Northern Ontario if you're worried about being robbed. As it's not a third world country, Canada is very safe for gringos.

Anywhere else you go in the Caribbean, South or Central America, you run the risk of being preyed upon by those less fortunate than yourselves. Or you could build a wall and hire a security co. to look after your sh!t. That's what a lot of "Gringos" do.

I concur. I especially like his 12volt solar pump, backed up by a hand pump.

I've seen some pretty nasty shit go through pigs and they always still tasted like pigs.

Any good Pot Roast recipe! Age the meat on the counter (covered) a day or two. Rub it in garlic, flour it and brown it in a big pot. Slow cook it w/ turnips, carrots & celery, couple cups of beef stock or pot likker. I like to use a good sized hunk of de-salted fatback in the slow cooker. Season to taste.

It's because nocturnal predators are waaayyy smarter than suburban commuters. I play NPR, Two fox and a coyote have already given a Ted talk.
