Our family is concerned about longterm prospects for living in the city once peak oil hits. We want to buy and start getting to know a piece of rural land where we can relocate and grow our own food if necessary--or, even if not \\\"necessary,\\\" we may eventually choose to do this anyway just for a lifestyle change. We\\\'re committed to permaculture model for food-growing and other sustainable, holistic lifestyle choices.
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
