Land amount is not important. We have 1200 acres in the family, but I find small holdings to be infinitely more productive using resources wisely and mindfully. That's the beauty of Urban Homesteading; Or even Suburban Homesteading. It's the real answer to food security & quality of life.

Fantastic, Rebecca, We grew some tomatoes for the first time in years this summer. I do wish there was a more local food coop here. We drive over to Greensboro to the Farmers market, but its not to far.

Great to hear you grew some tomatoes, Dan! Maybe next year you can add another crop or 2. You'll be glad you did...hard to beat the flavor.

Everything counts, so keep on educating : )

[cookingupastory]

Yes, PeakOilBoy, everything counts! Let's keep taking those thoughtful footsteps.

Buy local!!!! support local economies. It is the only way to live responsibly. If you can't always get what you need locally buy fair trade. Support organic farming. It's a choice and a sometimes requires sacrifice in other areas of life but it's so important to support what is the only sustainable way of farming.

Unless you inherit a farm, its impossible to start a farm.

Land is to expensive.

People are better off Homesteading.

[cookingupastory]

Tell me more about Homesteading, CMLovejoy. I know a bit, but nary enough. Does the amount of acreage matter? Is the primary goal of homesteading to provide for yourself/family? Has it evolved to fit into the 21st C?

[maynardhs79]

Not necessarily true. Land is expensive, but plenty of people have started small sustainable farms in the last 20 years.
