Writing

Here, I’ve gathered a selection of articles I’ve written on issues and subjects connected directly to my time on the homestead. Some pieces are practical, some reflective, and others explore the wider cultural and economic context of agriculture and rural life. Together, they form an ongoing record of questions, challenges, and lessons drawn from life on the land and in community. While some of these publications are no longer in print, the conversations they began remain important.
