Our ability to save seeds, even of some heirloom varieties that have been passed down for generations, is threatened. Now, when you shop for that favorite seed variety in your preferred seed catalog or on a website, you need to ask if you are buying the seed or merely renting it for a one-time use.

Falcon Force uses the natural predator/prey relationship to deter nuisance birds long-term — their main goal is to chase the nuisance birds away. Once a horned lark sees one of its natural predators flying and swooping nearby, it’s going to immediately find a safer place to forage for food.
Organic farming and gardening is the practice of growing crops with the use or organic fertilizers, in the form of plant and animal waste matter, instead of highly-soluble chemical fertilizers. The practice includes the use of low-soluble rock powders, such as ground phosphate, limestone, basalt, granite, etc., when these are considered necessary or desirable.
Using barn owls for natural rodent control is gaining traction among farmers and those in other agricultural sectors.

To reduce poisons and other invasive methods of pest management, one of the most beneficial owls on the planet is being called upon as an expert rodent assailant.
As a farmer, our land and our bodies face similar issues. If we address just the symptoms of our soil issues we won’t be able to create a healthy regenerative biological system. If we simply coast along keeping the farm running and never really build the foundations of a stable and successful ecologically based business, then we will ultimately crash and burn in some way. The same principles apply to our bodies and health.
