fragmentation

Slowdown Farmstead ·

2023/07/12

We live in an extractive society. We want to know what parts of the whole are the ones to focus on. Quick and dirty - give us the bullet points. All around us, the whole is increasingly being fragmented with a peddler for every part. Promises offered for any malady. Solutions for any problem. A guru for every subject. Everything, including you, broken down into its effective parts.Some people have chalked up the failings of our time to politics or corporations or evil. I think it’s probably all of

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comI spent some time with a dear friend of mine this week. He’s a bit older than me, in his sixties now. A lifelong farmer that plants his fields with horses still. It had been too long since we had seen each other. In that space of time our worlds, each of them, had forever shifted on their axis. Our daughter had died. His beloved wife had died. I am not the same person. Neither is he. Never again. I was a bit

For many, the last few years have been eye-openers. What they thought was turned out not to be. Securities felt a little more shaky. Truth, no longer felt all that true. Rugs were pulled out and curtains drawn back. The great illusion dissipated into the air like morning fog. For us, it was different. Our illusions were long gone. We were

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comIt took us close to five years to find our first farm. I suppose the first few years of that time we were more about investigating than actually being in the realm of possibly buying. We were collectors then, collecting information and understanding. We were collecting the fodder we needed to build the reality of a farm we wanted but had no idea how we would ever get. We were conspiring in a new reality for

What do we want to eat or jump off of or ride in? I’ve always found a “bucket list” to be a little befuddling. It’s a good way to focus on the material of a fictional future, but what about what really determines the quality of our lives? Why set our sites on stuff in lieu of where we actually have power and providence?I

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comWe harvested two of our sheep this week. Our ram, “Gentle Gerry” and a Shropshire ewe named “Martha”. It was as most days are when we are to harvest our animals: solemn and serious followed by jubilation that only comes hand in hand with enormous gratitude. The moving from such a heaviness found in the act of killing something you have affection for to the time after, when the body that is left behind fills us

That includes the meat and milk products of our domesticated animals, the wild game we can hunt on our land, the vegetables and fruits we grow and preserve, and all of the wild plants that we use for food and medicines. We were already pretty close to eating all of our food from the animals we raised and then butchered right here, but we wanted to see how we

Earlier this week I found myself in a darkened room singing a lullaby to my five month old granddaughter, Ana. It was, naturally, the same lullaby I sang to her mother, and then both of my other daughters, too. The same one my mother sang to me and my little sister.I was singing to her, my chin on top of her sweet smelling head. She snuggled into me, resolving herself to her afternoon nap. She was so soft and warm, tucked so perfectly into my chest. In that moment there was nothing else. In that

We had been looking for a farm of our own for close to five years by that time. Our list of all the things our dream farm would have dwindled with each prospective property we viewed. The reality of our budget and what was on offer brought us from

Tidy and to the point.Lately, I’ve been regaled with story after story of the modern dating zeitgeist. Women are supposedly empowered when they have casual sex without emotional ties. Men are at their best when they don’t act like men at all. Modern day dating seems to be more about
