Friends,
What an amazing time to be alive. WE are here to usher in the new millenia... Away from insanity and destruction - Towards joy and abundance. No shit, right now is the greatest time of change in recorded history.
Many are understandably concerned because their friends and families are not yet aware of what's really happening and suffering needlessly... This is by design, divide and conquer! These friends and family members are advocating violence, while we just want to be left alone to enjoy life. Advocating forced medical procedures, business closures, multiple levels of taxation and promoting fear is destructive ignorance.
But the good news... The solutions are embarrassingly simple. So, instead of being upset with these folks, just raise your own energy. Be the light! Inspire them and they may see past the veil... It's a lot of fun!
Top Ten reasons to grow your own food and medicine...
🍒 Convenience - It is EASY! Perennials (fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, etc.) take less maintenance than lawns. You do not have to become a "farmer" (in the traditional sense) to grow a lot of food. Think of a cherry or apple tree... These trees will provide hundreds of fruits per year with almost no effort. Now, instead of 1 or 2 fruit trees, imagine 10 in a suburban yard, all different species. Now, add to that perennial roots and tubers, like ginger, turmeric, sweet potatoes, add grape vines and 3 types of berry bushes, add medicinals like elderberry and lavender, herbs like rosemary and thyme... The list goes on and on!
🍈 ROI… The average return on investment blows away any other market sector! Let's take a peach tree for example. A healthy peach tree will produce 150 lbs of peaches per year... $3 lbs x 150 = $450. Well over 100% $ROI annually once mature, and that's just $ ROI!
🍇 FOOD SECURITY... The food supply chains are failing. Most of our food comes from 1,500 miles away, is handled by 6 to 7 people, and requires 4 to 5 vehicles. Unsustainable!
🍓 TASTE... Ripe fruits = much better taste and more nutrition.
🍌 ANXIETY and STRESS... are more prevalent now than ever. Gardening is found to be as effective as prayer/meditation for helping with these ailments
🍊 REVERSE DEFORESTATION... When we transition 20 to 50% of our lawns into Food forests, we reverse deforestation.
🌱 REVERSE MASS EXTINCTION... As we transition our lawns into foodscapes, the industrial monocrops farms will go back to nature
🍍 SOIL... We are currently destroying our topsoil at a rate of 10 to 40 x the rate of replenishment, "we only have 2 generations of soil left." If this were the only stat, would it not be enough?
🍑 Disease and DIS-EASE... This is because of the poisons we consume. No more poisons!
🥑 FREEDOM… All paths to lasting freedom (from everything from tyranny to cancer) must include a decentralized. regenerative and local food supply.

If not now, when? We think it's time for everyone to start growing their own food. What do you think?

Almond farmers ripping up their trees. This took a decade (and lots of capital) to establish. As I mentioned in Water Wars reports -- this isn't just a drought, it is a lasting reduction in agricultural output.
Our food supply is under attack.
