Note to Readers: Our foundation brood mare “Caranja” and her filly foal are back from the hospital and at stall rest with occasional pasture walkabouts. Thanks to all concerned for your prayers and good wishes.
Best...news...ever! Thank you for letting us know.
Thank heavens that your beautiful mare is back home. I said a prayer of thanks. Thank you Drs Malone for your courage to speak out when things were going in the wrong direction. You have made a difference in my life. Have a great day!
"Real Food, Real Health" will be actively supported at the soon-to-be-opened, organic farm cooperative store called the "GREEN HOUSE LOCAL." It will feature high quality foods from several regional, organic farms, including Polyface farm, Belle Vista farm, etc. It is located at 2513 Jefferson Hwy. in Waynesboro, VA.
WOW! How I would have LOVED to be at that event! Thanks, Dr. Robert for sharing your speech! I’m at a stage in life (age 86 & widowed) where I can’t personally enter the fray but I support your efforts 100%! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Such a helpful and informative speech. Thank you, Dr. Malone, and Jill for all you do and have done. So glad to hear that Cara and foal are home and doing well.
So happy your 'children' are home and healing. Thank you for writing your homesteading book. I am totally enjoying and learning along the read. I read it with a highlighter in hand and my husband has built me a raised bed where I have planted strawberries and will add green beans next year. I am finding tiny steps are the way for me and with those steps I am excited and motivated to take more steps. Thank you for all of your wisdom and work.
Robert, you have a farm manager and must have paid help to travel like you do and write and research many subjects. I’m fortunate, and can afford to be picky with what food I buy and eat. How realistic is it to think the cities and world can survive on production from small farming operations you describe? Especially when buyers expect fresh berries, avocados, etc. year round? Capitalism will eventually produce what you describe when demand is high enough and this type food production can be a means for making a good living. Gonna take a while I think
well reasoned narrative. If Americans switched to regenerative farming, medical costs would drop 75%. Sure, we'd pay more for food. Probably like Europe. We'd have less space for wind and solar farms. More grazing cattle near suburbs. A more dispersed agricultural economy. Probably reduce pharma profits significantly. Now you see the revealed design of post WW2 America.
One big problem with home gardening is that land is being developed haphazardly and then hmos step in and forbid raising chickens etc. and poor water management means no watering anything more than once a wk and when temps hit 100 and over that will not sustain a raised bed. There has to be some effort made to control developers and corrupt land commissioners or we are facing some really serious problems.
Good points. We are on a well so don't have to worry about govt rationing, etc. (though we do worry a bit over the current year-long drought and making sure our well doesn't run dry). But our county in SW Va is currently in a huge battle with county council over proposed zoning changes that are attempting to do exactly what you describe. I think the entire council is going to be replaced very soon: in addition to the proposed zoning changes are secret talks and NDA's signed for a....data farm. Discovered through many FOIAs. Not to mention our main lake and water source is 5 feet below full pond and has been for many months now. The county people are livid over this - as we should be. Corruption isn't only in DC.

Even if we only eat better (or own food) in the summer that's 3 or 4 months of better nutrition in a year. Gotta start somewhere.
