Missouri Small Farms Center
"I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large cities as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. Papers 12:442
While I generally avoid promoting any government boondoggle, I'm going to make a slight exception here.
If any of you are interested in Agrarianism or simplifying your lifestyle by starting a home business/ farming enterprise on a small scale, check out this site for a wealth of practical ideas & information Missouri Alternatives Center
Particularly helpful is there alphabetical listing of small farm enterprises with various articles on each ( here). There are several hundred headings & each with practical information. The site brags "On these links you will be able to find information on everything you want to raise or grow -- from Asparagus to Watermelons, and Aquaculture to Worms!" and they do not exagerrate.
