Support Local
welcome
This series is a place where stories, ideas, and experiments from the land come together to spark something bigger—community. While I’ll be highlighting folks here in my local area, my real hope is that what you read here encourages you to invest in your own place, too.
Supporting local doesn’t mean just buying local—though that’s a good start. It’s about paying attention. It’s about noticing who’s growing food, who’s fixing things, who’s showing up even when it’s hard. It’s about building real relationships with the people and land around you and understanding how deeply those things shape our lives.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. What works for one community might not work for another. But the principle stays the same: if we want strong, resilient places to live, we’ve got to build them ourselves, from the ground up—together.
Whether you’re here to learn, share, or just see what’s possible, you’re welcome.
Let’s get to it.
The Economic Impact of Local Agriculture
When you buy local, you're not just picking up fresh produce—you’re investing in your community’s economy, resilience, and future. This blog explores how supporting local farms and food systems keeps money circulating close to home, creates jobs, and builds a stronger, more sustainable community from the ground up.
Spring Planting Guide
Spring is the perfect time to plant more than just seeds—it’s time to grow community. Whether you're dreaming of a neighborhood garden or building a local food network, this guide walks you through simple steps to get started, connect with others, and celebrate the harvest together.
Decentralized Farming:
Industrial agriculture promised efficiency—but delivered fragile supply chains, degraded soils, and corporate dependency. Decentralized farming offers a better way forward. By empowering small-scale, regenerative farms and strengthening local food systems, we can build a more resilient, self-sufficient future for our food security and our communities.
