The future of farming is in danger

As we know, lot of farmers are getting old and want to retire, but the problem is, there are very few young people wanting to go into farming these days, and that is dangerous because the farmers end up having to sell their land to private equity companies who then effectively become feudal lords of that land.

I really want GreenHorizon to become an antidote to this. It will be a company/charity that is owned by regular people, not investors. The land will be transformed into permaculture food forests, tended to by volunteers and the produce will go to the free kitchens in the city and villages locally for people who need it

We have to save this land from ending up in the hands of private equity! otherwise they will trap us even deeper in what is effectively indentured servitude

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

tall grass, august, 2024

the tall grass whispers

i sit and picture a time gone bye

the trees look at me with their newly formed eyes

and i picture a time gone bye

the grass and the trees know histories i'll never see

i know people that i'll never be

i'll just work towards a time where i can

september, 2024

the earth holds me up

the earth hugs me

the grass rests against my skin

i lay under a tree and become one

i watch the leaves flutter

i am the leaves

i know the leaves

i am the roots above the ground

warm with the sun

under the blanket of the earth

i wish to stay here and continue to grow

peppers & tomatoes - summer, 2024

we're growing peppers and beets in an old whiskey barrel

and got cucumbers in the other

something keeps eating my cucumber leaves

i guess they need them more than me

I drink my coffee every day

my grounds go in a mason jar

they sit there until theres enough for my peppers

giving them a strong caffeine boost that I need

cause its better for them than for me

I gave you a bouquet of tomato flowers

that i grew in my garden

the bush had root rot and slugs on it leaves

you wouldn't take the flowers from me

you said you'd prefer a tomato from my garden but I didn't have one of those

i choose to give whats left of my dying tomato plant

but you wont take just that from me

but does that hold more meaning than flowers from my garden

when i'm giving whats left of my tomato plant

next time i'll give you a fruit

sun x daisies - may, 2024

does my love perform like the sun on milky white skin?

is my love harmful?

do i tell people to put on sunscreen?

should i damper my cosmically bright love?

when can i love someone fully?

why do I feel like i must hide how much i adore someone?

and why do i excuse it by saying its for my own emotions

like it helps.

was it love that grew the redwoods?

was it love that cut them down?

or were they love as they were

were they love unaltered

the daisies are love as they open their petals for the sun

the suns love sustaining them

is my love like a strong wind?

ripping through the trees

attacking the bumblebees

knocking you over?

is my love harmful?

does my love stop?

the way the wind calms

or clouds cover the sun

why do i recoil from love?

when i have so much to give

is my love like a dandelion puff?

is it wished away to infest others gardens?

is my love a weed?

is my love not welcome?

is my love mistranslated?

should i get another dictionary?

i want you to understand, you are loved

i look out at a field of daisies and see everyone i've loved

my backyard - april, 2024

white socks

blue pants

yellow daisies

green grass

hose is looped around itself

and so am I

the recycling can spoons the garbage can

the moss fills in dips in the wood bark

the crabgrass blushes around the edges

earthworms finding their true love below me

two worms kiss as they lay in bed

warm under the sun beams of late afternoon

the mulch piles give the ground a hug to keep her warm

the ivy hugging the trellace tightly so she won't go away

the crabgrass is a dancefloor for the fairies in my head
