Crunchy Chicken says you should listen to me. And that blonde hair is deceptive - she looks sweet, but she can make you.
Preparing, not for the end of the world, but for the end of a particular way of life. Accepting depletion, seeking abundance, beginning the process of regeneration. Oh, and going on about it a bit.

Where I'm Going to Be Next
For a host of environmental, agrarian and family reasons, I try not to travel a lot. Nevertheless, I do give talks, and I do do interviews, and this corner of the blog will tell you what's upcoming. If you'd like me to come speak, send me an email at jewishfarmer@gmail.com, and we'll see if we can work something out.
My Next Talk:
February 16, 3pm, I'm giving a FREE class on the basics of food storage - why and how at my friend Joy's place, the Old Corner Store, 133 Factory, Gallupville, NY 12073. 518-872 -1610. All are welcome, and Joy will be offering discounts to anyone who wants to get started in bulk ordering.

About Me
- jewishfarmer
- I'm a 35 year old writer and subsistence farmer, author of two forthcoming books on Peak Oil and Climate Change _Depletion and Abundance: Life on the New Home Front_ (Fall '08) and _A Nation of Farmers (And Cooks)_ (Spring '09) the latter co-authored with Aaron Newton. Both books are forthcoming from New Society Publishers. I used to run a small, Jewish themed CSA, but now we're concentrating on subsistence agriculture, growing food and teaching others to grow food. My training was in literature, focusing on the Renaissance and demographic and cultural crises of the 17th century. I've switched to focusing on the demographic and cultural crises of the 21st century for the moment, but retain an interest in all things literary. In my spare time (of which there isn't much), my husband Eric and I are raising Eli (7 1/2), Simon (6), Isaiah (4) and Asher (2), and assorted critters and livestock, building an agrarian future.
