CLARK'S HOMESTEAD

My name is Brent Clark and this is my way of sharing as I learn.  I've always been interested in the way our ancestors, not so far removed, made it through the "hard times" that they knew as daily life. I'm going to attempt this year to bring a little extra food and culture to my family by trying ways to be more self sufficient at a minimal cost and time investment.  I want to improve our diet by adding organicly grown food and reduce our carbon footprint by recycling most of our organic garbage. 

In a world where pop culture tells us a mans worth should be measured by how much his platinum dental work costs and our environment is in steady decline due to mass consumerism, there is need to find a better way for ourselves and instill in our children the values that will make a better world for their children. Let them feel the pride in the harvest of pure organic goodness.  Teach them that we have a resposibility to all living things to fullfill our roll as caretakers of the earth.  We should teach them that the meat they eat comes from a living thing that should be respected and cared for, not from a plastic container at a corporation owned grocery store .  Only we can teach them the skills of our forfathers to make hard times a little easier and to know that they can depend on themselves to provide for their families.

 Anyone can do this! I live in a trailer park (ok keep the Tornado Bait comments to yourself). I don't own any land. I could do this in my yard but there is a no pet policy.  My sister and her husband have a place with a nice size yard accross the field from me. I'm using their yard for this untill I can rent an acre and make my own one acre farm.  So this is for anyone even if you have a ¼ acre yard you have more than I do.
