Join The Homegrown & Homemade Family

We will still work jobs. We will still buy groceries. We will still trade, use money, and participate in the existing world.

I do not hate technology - right now, Homegrown & Homemade mostly exists as a digital presence in cyberspace. Technology is not inherently bad or evil.

This is not about abandoning society or pretending modern life doesn’t exist. It’s about slowly reducing total dependence on systems that do not care about us and seek to exploit us.

It is a rejection of endless consumerism and blind materialism. It is a way of life where we produce what we can and help each other out. Consumerism becomes balanced by Producerism. Materialism gets put on the back burner so that family values, spirituality, and love can get put on the front burner.

Most people cannot become fully self-sufficient, and that has never really been the goal. A single household doing everything alone is fragile. A community where people each produce something is strong.

Maybe one person keeps chickens. Another grows vegetables. Another bakes bread. Another repairs tools.

Over time, reliance shifts. Not all at once, and not perfectly, but steadily.

Jobs can fund gardens. Stores can supply what we cannot yet produce. Money can help build the very independence that eventually reduces the need for it.

The goal is not to abolish the modern world overnight. The goal is to build a foundation beneath it — one that provides shared knowledge, more food security, and less social conflict.

Independence creates personal freedom. Shared independence creates social stability.

Homegrown & Homemade aims toward a society that is more de-centralized, more human, and more capable of sustaining itself — environmentally, socially, and practically over the long term.
