I've always believed in an agrarian economic system. Much of our younger generation has forgotten America was once an agrarian nation. It was the ability to garden and farm that saved many depression era families, even those located within large population city limits.
Those little backyard gardens not only fed but provided a means of support during the deepest dark days of the Great Depression. It's quite possible the art of the backyard garden or small farm enterprise will once again save us in the very near future.
I found a very well written essay on the subject last evening during a visit to The Deliberate Agrarian. Do yourself a favor and click the link and take a few minutes from your busy day and read. I believe you'll find the essay very informative.

Welcome Aboard
Two new friends have clicked the little blue follower button and I'd like to say, thanks and welcome. First we have, Dragon, author of the blog Bottom Feeder.
Next in line for a cup of coffee is David the Good. David writes the blog, Florida Survival Gardening.
Please, take a moment and run over and say hello to each. And, gentlemen, I promise to always reply to your comments. It might take me a few hours, or days, and in some rare cases, weeks - but trust me, if it's within my power I shall never ignore you.
If in fact a comment has been made on any of my post and I do not respond within a reasonable time, please, bring it to my attention.
Again, thank you and welcome to my humble blog. You are now among friends.
