Compost helps build soil, store carbon, absorb water, increase food, and  increase resilience.  Food production (mostly hemical fertilizers and feedlots) causes 20% of greenhouse gases. Ocean acidification could harm the phytoplankton, which creates much of the world’s oxygen.  See the last 5 minutes of Michael Pollan’s talk. link

The Dervais family grow enough food on their yard to feed themselves and to make a living.

Here are  books on local  food production and  permaculture .  Here is info on organic farming.  Here is the permaculture magazine.

The Dervais family, with their “Path to Freedom” (link), are spreading a truly revolutionary idea. That is the idea that an average family can free themselves from the corrupt system that supplies most of the food in this country. The massive corporations that control food production and distribution have, for the most part, succeeded in throwing off what little government inspection and oversight there was in the past. “Ag-Gag” bills and the criminalization of whistleblowers have led to a place where we are not allowed to know where our food comes from or what kinds of poisons have been applied to it. Growing your own is really the ONLY way to have a safe, reliable food supply.

The bright side of this picture is that growing your own food is easier than ever! Not only is it safer – everyone knows that homegrown is the tastiest and freshest food possible. In recent years, modern science and ancient agricultural knowledge have teamed up to give you the ability to grow food on a small amount of land, for less time and effort than it would take to earn the money to buy it. Local, sustainable, organic food gives peace of mind in several ways.

We brought back our mens heavyweight cotton non-organic t-shirts. Check them out!   Some customers like the heavier weight  shirts, especially in the winter.  The yarn is thicker, and they weigh 6 oz. per sq. yd. of fabric, in contrast to our organic medium weight mens shirts, which weigh 4.4 oz. per sq. yd.
