Working a full-time job while building a small farm/nursery business means the ideas usually outpace the daylight.
But little by little, we’re growing something worth the work.
Anybody else building their dream a few hours at a time?

Yes, the institutions are corrupt. Yes, the currency is being debased. Yes, the culture is sick.
Now wipe your eyes and get to work.
God did not place you in this century by accident. He assigned you to this exact cultural battlefield because He expects you to exercise dominion right here in the rubble.
Stop waiting for a political savior to hand you an easy path.
You are the pioneer. You are the builder.
Take the risk, start the venture, and plant a flag in the dirt.
During WWII, nearly 20 million American families planted Victory Gardens, producing an estimated 40% of the nation’s vegetables. Ordinary Americans turned their backyards into a major source of food production.
In Russia during the 1990s, household gardens produced an astonishing 91% of the country’s potatoes and nearly 80% of its vegetables. As the Soviet economy collapsed, these small plots helped millions of families put food on the table.
Both examples demonstrate something we’ve largely forgotten: food security doesn’t have to come exclusively from industrial agriculture. Millions of small gardens, family farms, and homesteads can collectively feed a nation.
Imagine what America could accomplish if we treated growing food as a normal part of everyday life again. Food sovereignty begins at home.
Food sovereignty starts at home, and the next generation ought to know how to grow its own.

I’m not betting on the price of silver going up rationally in the paper markets. I’m betting that the East gets so sick of the United States ragdolling them that they take all the silver & aggressively weaponize critical minerals against us. As they should. An elitist cabal of Western banking fucks should not be able to buy out the regulators & rig the market rules in their own favor.

1774: they blew tobacco smoke up drowning victims' backsides to revive them, and the kits hung along the Thames like lifebuoys.
1863: they sold cocaine wine as a daily tonic, and a pope pinned a gold medal on it.
1898: they sold heroin as a cough medicine, and spooned it into coughing children.
1918: they sold radium water as a health drink, and the millionaire who drank 1,400 bottles was buried in a lead-lined coffin with most of his jaw gone.
1921: they put lead in petrol, and Britain kept it in the pumps until 2000.
1930s: they X-rayed children's feet in shoe shops, and kids queued to watch their toes wiggle on the screen.
1940s: they rubbed mercury teething powder into babies' gums, and about 1 in 500 of those babies was poisoned.
1946: they sold cigarettes on the line that more doctors smoked their brand, and put a man in a white coat on the advert.
1949: they gave the lobotomy a Nobel Prize, and doctors went in through the eye socket with an ice pick.
1952: they sold a cigarette filter made of asbestos as the greatest health protection in smoking history, and smokers drew it into their lungs with every puff.
1957: they sold thalidomide to pregnant women for morning sickness, and around 10,000 babies were born with missing or shortened limbs.
1960s: they sold margarine as the heart-healthy fat, and spread trans fat on a generation's toast.
1996: they sold OxyContin as barely addictive, and started an overdose epidemic.
1999: they sold Vioxx for sore joints, and pulled it five years later after tens of thousands of heart attacks.
2026: they're selling seed oil as the heart-healthy fat, and it's in almost every packet in your kitchen.
Every one of these came with an expert's blessing and the same total certainty.
The people telling you which fat to fear today sit in the same chairs as the ones who put radium in the water and a doctor on the cigarette packet, and they're every bit as sure.
"The experts recommend it" has the longest body count in medicine.
Thanks, everybody! These mixed hardneck garlic cloves have been flying off of my shelf!
We’ve been busy packing orders here at Fike Farm and Forest, and I sure appreciate everyone supporting our family farm.
There’s still time to get some good garlic in the ground this fall! 🧄🌱

The garlic field is ready, and tomorrow we start getting next year’s crop in the ground!
There’s something special about seeing all these freshly worked beds and knowing what they’ll be producing come next summer.
We’ve put a lot of work into this ground, and I sure do enjoy seeing it all come together. 🌱🧄

It's pretty much what I do at every opportunity. What are you passionate about?
A while back, Dad and I built this asparagus bed (25 ft long)out of stone we gathered from a creek.
Zoom in and you’ll see the red berries! Open pollinated! Those are full of seeds, and we dibble them right back into the ground.
Has anybody ever tried developing their own asparagus landrace? We started with 2 year roots from a few different varieties.
I’d love to see what comes from letting different varieties cross-pollinate and selecting the strongest plants for our conditions over the years.
Anybody else patient enough to grow asparagus from seed and see what comes of it?

Now this is impressive. If he grew that grain himself, that’s a whole different level of self-sufficiency. Growing your own food is one thing, but taking it all the way from the field to a loaf of bread? That’s something to be proud of. What a flex!

The Thanksgiving-only family is an economic and spiritual surrender.
You cross paths twice a year to eat dry turkey, argue about cable news, and pretend you have a shared life because you once all lived under the same roof.
Then you scatter back to your separate, leveraged subdivisions to fight inflation, taxes, and godless corporations completely alone.
How can this be called anything other than alumni association with shared DNA?
It certainly can't be called a household and united family.
God built the clan to operate as a permanent phalanx against the forces of this world, not a biannual reunion.
Consolidate your lines. Come back together. Build up your clan and tribe in order to face and triumph over the forces seeking to destroy every family caught alone in the dark.

You saved six percent on your framing crew by hiring imported, off-the-books labor instead of the local young men in your county.
Congratulations on your gross margin.
In exchange, you ensured that the twenty-two-year-old boys sitting in the pews behind you can’t earn an honest wage, can’t afford to buy a modest starter home, and can’t afford to marry.
You literally sold out the next generation of American families so you could pocket a marginally larger distribution.
Hire the sons of your own soil. Pay them a living wage.

Hyper-individualism tricked Christian men into believing that leaving their parents meant moving three states away and never speaking about money.
For thousands of years, a man typically left his father and mother to establish a new tent within the camp, not to vanish into the wilderness.
The clan pooled tools, shared pasture, defended the perimeter, and financed the next generation internally.
Now you each own your own lawnmower, pay your own commercial interest rates, and wonder why you’re exhausted.
Sell the isolated outposts. Reassemble the tribe. Come back together as a united family.
