Sustainability

Look around you.
This is the Earth.
Look around you.
These are the people
You share the Earth with.

Now what do we do about it?

The Mission of A Backyard Agrarian
To tend the life of planet earth with love and compassion.

A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. ~ Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac

A proper community, in this day and age of peak oil, peak soil, the obesity malnutrition corporate food system epidemic, ecosystem collapse, global climate change, and almost total corporate control of our government - a proper community under these conditions, will at least recognize a responsibility to create a community that at the very least attempts to tackle these issues in some real and meaningful way.

My perennial garden knows just the right pace
at which to emerge in order to keep me
completely tantalized.

This project
was a recognition that we need to experiment with
and practice and discuss the methods for living well in today's world.
If we want to change things, we need to change things.

you are going to have to confront people
about their fundamental beliefs and system of living.

for all.
