I wish someone had told me THIS before my 1st home

I wish someone had told me THIS before my 1st homestead!

That it’s actually BEST to start practicing permaculture as a renter on a small scale.

Don’t make the same mistake that I did and take on a HUGE project without any experience.

It was exhausting, overwhelming, and confusing.

I highly recommend that you start before you own land so that you feel comfortable with the knowledge, tools, and steps.

This is good news, right?

Like this post and comment below YES if you feel relieved.

Here's why I would NOT build a 100-acre homestead.

Here's why I would NOT build a 100-acre homestead.

My first homestead was a large-acreage homestead, and it nearly took me out. It was a horrible idea. I was exhausted and frustrated, and I almost quit.

But then I built a small homestead with a quarter-acre garden, and everything changed.

** Even a small backyard can grow a ton of food! **

So take the pressure off yourself.

Start by growing the top 5 veggies that you LOVE to eat. Spend time in your garden, connect with the plants, nurture them, and watch them go. Then enjoy your first harvest and how delicious your veggies are.

When you fall in love with growing, harvesting and eating home-grown veggies, you will naturally expand your garden because you'll fall in love with the process.

A key secret of permaculture is learning how to connect with nature and nurture it. It's much better to have a small garden that you can attune to than 100 acres that you feel estranged from.

Ok, now I want to know your top 5 favorite veggies - comment below!

Do you know one of the key aspects of effortless abundant gardens?

They are MESSY!

Well, it's more like organized chaos.

You see effortless gardens that use permaculture and mimic nature. And nature doesn't grow in neat and tidy rows! So, neither should you!

It's often the order of neat rows in the garden that causes pest and soil problems, use more water and take more of your time!

So, if you want to grow food in less time, take the pressure off and let your garden get wild

Is social media killing your dream garden?

Not literally, of course, but folks complain that they don't have enough TIME to grow a backyard garden.

I used to think this too...

But then I adjusted my MINDSET and PRIORITIES!

I realized I could spend 2-hours watching Netflix or 2-hours working in my garden. Which do you think had a more significant ROI and improved my life?

After a night of watching Netflix, I didn't have anything to show for it (except maybe I learned something if I watched a documentary).

Whereas, if I spent the evening working in the garden, I ended up creating a more independent and putting home-grown food on the table for my family.... (while saving money)!

Screens, check us out.
Gardens check us in.

Which are you going to choose?

THIS is what has allowed me to live a more self-sustainable life while running a business and spending quality time with my family.

What is the secret sauce?

Permaculture.

For example, our nature-aligned garden takes on average about 15 minutes a day to tend, and we get thousands of pounds of home-grown toxin-free food.

Or our passive solar straw bale home is designed to collect and retain heat in the winter and stay cool in the summer passively - reducing our energy needs.

And these are just two examples of many more ways that we have used permaculture to create a life that is free and independent of the system...

...without taking all of our time!

Comment below "heck yes" if you want to learn more about how you can easily use permaculture too.

THIS is the biggest lie about growing your own food!

Growing your own food can be hard.

But eating toxic conventional (& organic) food is hard on your body, mind, and soul...

CHOOSE. YOUR. HARD.

Except....growing your own food DOESN'T have to be hard. And if it has been, it's because you're doing it wrong!

When you learn how to integrate permaculture tools and techniques, you'll see that maintaining a garden is almost effortless.

That's because a permaculture garden mimics nature.

You don't have to go into the forest and help the trees grow, do you?

Of course not! Well, your homestead can function much the same way.

Permaculture is the secret of the busy person with little time.

Every month, about 9 out of 10 American children eat at McDonald’s restaurants - is your family one of them?

And you don't want me to go into stats about the issues fast food causes.

This is why so many people are eating more organic, more local food. But the only way to ensure your organic food doesn't still contain toxins is to (drum roll please) - grow your own!

It doesn't have to take acres of land.

It doesn't have to take tons of time.

The good news is that there are SIMPLE steps that YOU can take TODAY to dramatically improve your health, wealth and quality of life.

And it all starts with...

Growing food in your backyard using permaculture!

Not only do you eat well, but you also begin to create self-sustainability right in your own backyard, which gives you more freedom, control and well-being.

After all, isn't that what you want to give to your kids?

Intention is only one piece to the puzzle. It alone stays in your mind and does nothing to change your outside world.

BUT when intention is followed up with action and repetition - very quickly your external world begins to match your dreams and desires.

This has been one of the fundamental keys in my experience building a homestead, business and family life that just gets better and better every day.

Try applying action for one week and I’m confident you’ll see results. 🌱

What are the two best places you can invest your money and time during a recession that will give you more freedom and more self-sustainability?

In looking back on my journey, doing these two things stood out as having a massive positive impact on our lives, positing my family for economic turmoil, food shortages, and pretty much anything else the world could throw at us.

We are living in different times.

Even in the mainstream, people priorities are shifting away from the grind and rat race, towards creating a more meaningful and resilient life (cause who knows what is next).

Finances and recession on your mind?

Years ago our lives looked very different than today, and back then, we were much more subject to the pressures and failures of the system.

Once we began to break free, and live life on our own terms, we ended up creating a life that feels like we are on vacation every day.

The best part is our homestead supports us and since we spend our days gardening, instead of consuming goods and services, we live a very “rich” life without needing a ton of income.

Breaking free and creating a recession-proof life isn’t as hard as it sounds, its just a series of small steps towards a different life.

But it doesn’t start tomorrow - it starts today.

See my bio link to learn more on how you can create a self-sustainable life that is recession proof, regardless of where you live.

Creating a Recession Proof life, home and backyard

Creating a Recession Proof life, home and backyard!

If the last two years have shown us anything its we don’t know what is around the corner - NOW is the time to get prepared and create freedom, health and security so you can rest easy at night.

You’ll learn the key to a recession proof life and I’m busting three big misconceptions people have about self-sustainable living:

1) It takes too much time!
2) I don’t have the money!
3) I don’t have the space!

You can’t change what is going on in the world but you can control how you position yourself!

You don’t need tons of land or live in the count

You don’t need tons of land or live in the country. You can grow massive amounts of food on just a 1/4 acre. $20,000 worth of organic produce even. We’ve all seen what’s happening at the grocery store prices, right? There’s no time like now to finally learn these empowering skills that no one can take away.

Making kraut is not only super easy, it’s an incredible way to preserve cabbage for the season AND have a probiotic rich food.

Food shortages
Fertilizer shortages

Massive inflation

Looming recession
Exploitive & destructive consumerism
Energy crisis
Mental illness
Political division
Children glued to screens

When they control your food you lose choice, freed

When they control your food you lose choice, freedom and health.

In 1945 - Americans grew 45% of their food in backyards.

In 2020 - Americans ONLY grew 0.1% of their food in backyards.

But, there is a resurgence happening where so many people are existing the matrix and growing gardens, not lawns.

They are taking back control of their food and their lives.

They are discovering what it is like to sleep easy at night, knowing that they have taken a big step towards gaining back their independence and health - no matter what happens in the world.

A small backyard can produce up to $20,000 in produce a year (at Whole Foods “Organic” prices).

Imagine how it would feel to feed your family nutrient-dense food grown in your yard, sharing the extra with your neighbors, knowing you are making a difference.

Well that self-sustainable life is not as far off as you may think…

It wasn’t always this way - living a life that felt abundant, secure and enjoyable... Over a decade ago, I walked out of my job and left that old life behind. Needless to say I never looked back.

This journey though didn’t happen all at once. It was learning new ways of living bit-by-bit until suddenly I realized I was ACTUALLY living the life I always wanted.

Finding a more simple holistic way is not a “someday” dream. It’s right now, the actions we chose today that get us to what we desire, tomorrow.
