FARMERIK and Nan have homesteaded together for more than 27 years in Connecticut. Both grew up with huge home gardens and farming Grandparents. After raising their children, Nan started selling a careful selection of seeds they grow there. FARMERIK writes articles telling how they live on the land. He has generously allowed Survival Weekly to repost a few of those articles. We’ll be running them here, with a new article featured every month. The SeedForSecurity web site also has hundreds of captioned photos from their homestead.
