Wendell Berry quote from Nature as Measure / nature-as-measure
“An agriculture using nature…as its measure would approach the world in the manner of a conversationalist. It would not impose its vision and its demands upon a world that it conceives of as a stockpile of raw materials. …Now we must think of marriage.”

I like what you say about not worrying about getting everything perfect - just get started! As G. K. Chesterton said, whatever is worth doing is worth doing poorly.
I'm all for making some mincemeat from my nanny's recipe to regenerate a family tradition... Does anyone know where I can get some squirrel or rabbit to go along with my pork and beef? 😂🤣😂 I loved this webinar and always look forward to listening to you and watching you teach others to respect and love what they're doing with their animal harvest!
We're glad you're here in Oklahoma
Welcome to oklahoma!
Both my parents came from abuse, and broken homes, but their grandparents were farmers. It's interesting to see how, not only the farming traditions faded in one generation, but the moral ones as well. Heathy habitual behaviors are gone. I find it very difficult to start new, old traditions.
Can a society of family farmers provide for their common defense given the technological advancements of modern warfare?
Well, I don't know if you were paying attention but America just lost after a 10 year occupation of Afghanistan to a bunch of goat herders who refused to give up.
We didn't really "win" Vietnam either. And many of the Vietnamese didn't even have weapons, they just had pointy sticks covered in poop. Where there's a will there's a way!
