I'd like to sit down and discuss "cheap living" with him, over cold beer of course. Deb That story was somthing else, wasn't it. I can't believe some of this stuff that goes on. Glad you found it, thanks for stopping by. Heidi Sounds interesting. Do you know the families very well? I have heard of folks trying similar ideas and not have them work out. Those were always with people that didn't wind up getting along, or had a lazy family involved, or didn't share common ideas or faith. I could see doing something like this with some Christian families that I knew really good. Do the families own the division they work? Is the land owned as a group or are the individual divisions all owned seperatly. I would be interested in hearing some of the details as you find them out.The best part is that people want community, an agrarian one. Let us know what you you find out and what you end up doing.

Is this CSA, or is this something totally different? An opportunity has arisen, but I've never seen this model and we need to research. THANKS! Hi Scott,
A question for you: Have you ever heard of group farming - where a group of families buys divisions of a large group of farmland and then farms according to “area of interest” -meaning one family farms grain crops, one farms a small amount of dairy cattle, one farms large-scale veggies (potatoes, melons, etc.) and they help each other with the large tasks (harvest, for instance) and then share the bounty of the crop?
Is this CSA, or is this something totally different?
An opportunity has arisen, but I’ve never seen this model and we need to research.
THANKS!

And it certainly scares me; unless we stand up for our fundamental right to save seed, this country could be next. Thanks for posting this. re: Iraq patent law…Why does this not surprise me?

'Most people won't live as cheap as I will,' Tim says." Even apart from his grazing beliefs, he sounds like your kind of fellow! “You also need to be willing to live without frills while paying the farm bills. ‘Most people won’t live as cheap as I will,’ Tim says.”
