Inflation, Food Shortages, Rolling Blackouts…

Few days go by without hearing of yet another catastrophe affecting our supply chain infrastructure.

You don’t have to be a millennial like us to be wary of dependency on our existing food, energy, and healthcare systems after living through Y2K, never-ending wars, the 2008 housing crisis, and the 2020 pandemic.

Like us, these experiences have made you question foundational truths that you once held dear.

So what are we going to do about it?

We won’t be black pilled. We will…

grow our sovereignty!

What is Sovereignty?

It’s not just about ourselves. No man is an island.

It is the natural right of any person to have exclusive control over one’s own body and life.

Growing sovereignty means strengthening community ties, gaining skills to source and prepare our own food, clothing, energy, etc., and opting out of traditional systems that no longer benefit who they were created to serve.

You can start now. Right where you are.

For example….

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column_inner][/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-27px||-13px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Aleo||||||||” inline_fonts=”Aleo” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Start a garden

From hanging or windowsill planters in an apartment to a Back To Eden in-ground garden, you can supplement your grocery store purchases and secure food for your family.

Start small with herbs or flowers and experiment with what grows well in your growing zone.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Aleo||||||||” inline_fonts=”Aleo” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Shake your rancher’s hand

Bypass buying meat, eggs, or dairy in the grocery store and go straight to the source. Find local ranchers and farmers who want you to ask them questions and show you their setup.

This helps you verify that the food you eat is healthy. A healthy and happy animal means healthy food for you.

Track your numbers

While we all need CPAs and Bookkeepers at times, don’t entirely outsource your understanding of personal or business finances. You could miss out on key trends or topics affecting your business.

Little effort is needed to understand the basics of bookkeeping and financial analysis. Ask me how I know!

Invest in sound money

Most of the modern day ire is due to the lack of sound, hard money. It steals from us every day in the way of inflation and money printing.

Without sound money, societies collapse.

Who are we?

Meet Rex & Jamie

We’re first generation homesteaders coming back to work in lockstep with the land to provide safety and security for our family and community.

We want to bridge the great divide that now exists between the everyday person and their connection to food, health, and energy.

We believe that every human is the best arbiter of their own lives and should be allowed to live in the way that best suits them while not interfering with someone else’s way of life.

But to grow sovereignty, we must imagine and do things we never could have imagined or done before.

Take that jump with us!

Learn with us

Growing sovereignty doesn’t mean you have to move to an off-grid home on hundreds of acres and eschew all modern conveniences. We do love our internet access and hot water.

Growing sovereignty is a mindset that strives to find every bit in every day life that can be made more sustainable and secure. Whether you live on hundreds of acres or in a cozy apartment in town.

We’ve found amazing guides and help from those who have taken this journey before us, but sometimes they’ve perfected it so well they gloss over failures or forget to share them because they’ve become so experienced at the task.

We will not.

As tough as it is, we strive for transparency to share the good and the bad about taking the road less traveled. We’d love to learn from you and likewise share our wins and stumbling blocks with you.

It takes a village.
