What's New?
Thank you!
I've received emails from fellow new agrarians in thirty-two states, five countries, and four continents. Thanks for the support, and keep in touch!
Weblog (3/04)
I've started a blog called "The Halfway Homestead." You'll find it linked from the essays.
Duck update (3/04)
A hawk attack, duck first aid, and a new house: the latest installment in the "duckling diaries." Also detailed construction notes on the duck house and a chart of egg production through the first twenty months.
Essays (2/04)
Two new essays, including one by my wife Kathy.
The Newest Agrarian (9/03)
Yes, we had a baby this fall.
The New Agrarian
Ideas and actions for a meaningful, sustainable future for rural communities and in support of the proposition that agriculture is for everybody.
If this is your first visit, here's what you'll find.
Ideas
From brief essays to serious cultural studies, my ideas on the past, present, and future of rural America. In What's a New Agrarian? I set out a draft of a philosophy of "new agrarianism." Read about my book Garden Spot, about Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and the Old Order Amish; or about my current project on sustainable agriculture. For something lighter, read my essays on rural life or my poems.
Actions
Join us at the forefront of the new agrarian revolution: suburban agriculture! Read about our efforts at "halfway homesteading" and our adventures in raising ducks, including my "duckling diaries." The future is what we make it, so let's get started!
