As I become older the desire for a simpler, cleaner life is becoming more appealing. After watching tons of videos on the "eminence" of economic collapse and total anarchy the idea of being able to feed and sustain myself and my family has become somewhat of a passion.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying these disaster scenarios will happen but they could. In any case, the idea of living clean with fresh foods that have not been genetically modified excites me. Not spending tons of money on food that has little to no nutrition or flavor thrills me.

I hope to one day turn my urban home into an idyllic Eden, living off the land with solar and wind power and a full ripe edible garden. Notice I say my URBAN home, because while I do love the idea of living off the land the way God intended, I still need to be able to get to Ross Dress for Less and Starbucks from time to.

So here are some photos of my burgeoning paradise. I hope they inspire you to learn and grow.
