Helping you become more resilient through food. We are more disconnected from our food and drink than ever before!

We explore topics such as food resilience, nutrition, hunting, foraging, homesteading, regenerative farming, and more. Gather around our table and learn how to take control of your food supply chain and fuel yourself with nutrient-dense food.
