Good morning - I don't think of it so much as political farming as anti-political farming myself. no matter what happens in this ever more frighting world I want to know i have the means to provide for my family, friends and community. Anyway have a great day and I am glad to see like minded folks on the left coast!!

I'm not to sure exactly what a political farmer is but I do agree that we should have a means of providing food for our families "when" it becomes necessary.

Have a great garden day.
