It's been a mushroom year

Our Poor Meal

This was our meal tonight, all from the farm:

Chicken steaks with garlic, onions, wild mushrooms, tomato, carrots, kale and ruby chard. Cooked on the wood fire.

We want poor to be in fashion. We're pushing the opposite of our culture. Rather than aspiring to be rich and wanting more, aspire to be "poor", want less, recycle, make more and share. Then we need to buy less and not support mines, corrupt governments and big business.

To have a "better" standard of living



  • we need to reduce our population
  • everyone needs to take responsibility for producing their own food - THIS MEANS YOU!
  • everything you grow, everything you make - is a bit more money the big corporations and government doesn't get from you
We are putting the government on notice
  1. We are onto them
  2. We are not afraid of them
  3. We are coming for them
The good-hearted, self-sufficient people have had enough!
We will fight for the right to be Self-Sufficient - you will never stamp us out!
