Is anyone in this sub or instance a remote worker? I have been one first partially and then completely for a few years now and I began to think as a kinda of solarpunk way of live that has the potential to propel humanity to a more decentralized and sustainable way of life, specially since I plan to move to a smaller town because of it. What do guys feel about it? Do you do it? Don’t do it but would like to? Do it it but miss interaction?
That’s my dream. Do you grow anything?
Yep! This year we’re growing sheep, goats, chickens, tomato, potato, corn, beans, chickpea, snap peas, apples, peaches, mushrooms, and probably 20 more things I can’t remember.
We’re on 50 acres, half wooded, so lots of foraging too… dandelion, lamb’s quarter, thistle, ladies thumb, lots of berries, apples, mushrooms, walnuts, dock.
Usually some volunteer kale and squash, but not so much this year. We stopped growing greens since there’s so much edible green stuff that just pops up around the yard and beds for free.
That’s amazing, what huge chunk of land! You are practically self sufficient in terms of food, congratulations! Do you do all the work alone?
