Backyard farmers by necessity: self-sufficient & debt-free
When Myrna and Earl Fincher married 53 years ago they started farming their yard “out of necessity”. Today, the Finchers make a living selling their organic produce to restaurants and at the local farmers’ market twice a week for much of the year. They had no experience as farmers, but learned by trial and error.
I LOVE? this! I would totally do this!!!
where do they? live?
great video, excellent story? and information!!
THIS is the? American dream!
Thanx for continuing to restore my faith in human life, btw one way to ” code enforcement” is to pour? cement pad and build structure on frame set(not attached) to cement, or at least not obviously, then it is a portable structure…i.e. potentially movable with winch and truck, another advantage is that the structure is not permamnent so not taxable, same concept as tiny home’s on wheels…..
Today in much of the country these people would be subject to harassment and at least partial condemnation by code enforcement, even in rural lands. I live 25 minutes from the nearest store of any kind on a dead end dirt road with 20 acres and an agricultural zoning. No way you could do this w/o being ordered to tear all? those structures out. If something you wish to do doesn’t make your property taxes go up and you neighbors house worth more you can not do it.
Coming from a typical? modern wasteful family this is a huge inspiration. I want and NEED natural, homegrown food…not precooked tv “dinners”. I hope society weeds out this overly convienient lazy lifestyle and goes back to the good old days I wish I lived in.
I love? this,, this is how I want to change my life to being like,, as much as possible,,
@mixxxer – They remind me of my grandparents,? too, because they are. And they are every bit as incredible as this video makes them seem.
Wonderful? !
absolutely? love it
they’re so cute. They remind me of my? grandparents
This is exactly what I have in mind to to for myself. Home grown produce is? far better than supermarket stuff
