Greetings Edgelords and Edgeladies!

This is where I will be spilling my thoughts about everything from music to butchery, from astrology to nutrition, from farming to finance. 

I’m currently a shepherd living on a 100 acre non-profit farm in Maryland. I raise and butcher my own sheep. We also have layer hens and Boer goats, though only 2 females, so no breeding program with the goats as of yet.

I work part time at a butcher shop, honing my skills so I can open a mobile butcher service in the coming years. There is going to be a MASSIVE need for small scale butcher shops all across the world. It is a line of work that will NEVER be slow, and you will be GREATLY appreciated for your efforts. Especially if you’re decent at it;)

I became enchanted with regenerative agriculture some 5-6 years ago. The idea is that you can create a solar powered electric fence line for your ruminants (sheep, cattle, etc) and they will munch down everything within that fence line in 1-2 days. There are no feed supplements, only grass. There is mineral and salt supplementation. They will concentrate their mowing efforts and manure onto this piece of land. Then, you switch it to the next paddock over, where they repeat. You don’t let them back on the original paddock for 3-5 weeks, until the grass has had proper time to grow back and the manure incorporated. This regenerates topsoil and sequesters carbon in the form of grass roots. It also keeps the animals healthier, as they are not grazing near where parasites congregate (manure).  In this way, we can rehabilitate land, grow epic protein and heal people. 

I’m combining this with mobile butchery because it is more conscious for the animals and the whole process as well. Mobile butchery is when the butcher shop comes to the animal, iso vice versa. It is incredibly stressful to the animal to be transported (sometimes for hours) to a new place, with new smells, new sounds, etc… It creates labored breathing in the animal, which in turn changes their pH to a more acidic tone. Breathing is MUCH more effective at changing pH than water or food. Using regenerative ag and mobile butchery, the animals have one bad day. And the animals life ends in an instant, in the field it was raised in. Ruminants can be very skittish and will stop eating if spooked about something. Often times I will see harvested animals with grass still in their mouth, because they were comfortable enough to be eating up until the point they died. THAT is quick and merciful. The meat cannot be USDA retail sold when harvested like that, but for private sales to small families and farms, this will be the way of the future.

Speaking of the future, yours is being decided for you right now by a bunch of suits who have sold their souls to a dark cult. The only way out is through, and to make it through, you need:

1. Skills to pay the bills. Real world skills dealing in food, medicine, energy, defense, clothing, housing, woodwork, or any type of hands on skill to help form a second realm beyond the beast system.
2. Community. We cannot do this alone. Find kindred spirits and create friendships and strategic partnerships with people who have complimentary skillsets to your own.
3. Grit. The future is going to be made difficult for us, but we WILL persevere. Not everyone will make it. Those who do will be the ones who WANT IT. Who are in love with life, humanity and want a better future for the next generation. It is all there in front of us, and the parasites trying to take this from us are counting on fear/laziness/distraction to cull the majority of us.

This is why butchery.
This is why regenerative ag.
