From his 66-year farm, food, and family experience, Joel Salatin explains why thousands of Americans are selling their urban homes, cashing out retirement funds, and heading to the country. The exodus is both a goodbye to one life and an embrace of another.
When society breaks down, people head away from the city. For food security, health, and satisfaction, homesteads offer a haven of hope and help when much seems hopeless and helpless.
While fear motivates people to change, only faith sustains. This book offers multiple reasons for modern homestead living. Some are:
- Secure, stable, safe food.
- Healthy, happy children.
- Superior immune function.
- Community and connections.
- Meaningful work.
- Creation stewardship immersion.
In his 16th book, Salatin offers the homestead why to those contemplating the jump, those trying to dissuade their friends from jumping, and those who regret having jumped. Despite its sweat and disappointments, homesteading offers incalculable benefits that feed the soul, soil, and spirit.
Homestead Tsunami digs deep into the ethos of today's best pension plan: living and learning proximate to people who know how to build things, repair, things and grow things. A better life awaits.
