About Me
- Name: farmer Pauly
- Location: TO, ON, Canada
I'm kind of excited about the next few years. I see skyrocketing oil prices and a climate shift gearing into full force creating a bit of havoc in the world somewhat sooner than most people think. But I think self-sufficiency will be a big part of the solution when the shit hits the fan. My dream is to someday produce most of my own food, clothing and shelter, helping to sustain a small close-knit community and a connection with the earth.
