Wild Minds Weekly: 3 Reasons This is The Future
Hello friends,
You know our current system is not serving us. It's making us sick, dependent, and fragile. 


The solution?
Communities built around small-scale regenerative farming.
Here’s 3 reasons why this is the future:
1/ Anti-fragility.


You'll break your dependence on industrial agriculture and mass-produced food supplies, you control your own food production or source directly from a farmer you trust.
Meaning?
As a byproduct of the lifestyle, you'll reconnect with the daily and seasonal rhythms that regulate your biology. You become healthier by accident.
Vegetables grown in accordance with the seasons and natural sunlight, instead of in artificially-lit boxes.
Cattle free to roam, fed their natural diet instead of confined to feedlots and fattened with grain.
Waking up naturally to the sunrise rather than dragged out of sleep by an alarm clock.
Another 'pandemic' strikes and the grocery store runs out of food? You can’t go anywhere unless you get vaccine #97 from Drugs Incorporated?
You've got each other’s back. Food you trust, produced by people you trust.
Anti-fragile from the cellular level all the way to the community.
Then, as more communities form, the network grows in strength with less dependence on the old system.
And over time, a new one emerges. 

But it’s not just about us (although it is immediately beneficial). It’s about the future generations.

2/ You reclaim your children’s future
Do you want kids that are:
- Addicted to screens
- Fuelled by processed food
- Over-diagnosed with mental illness (or actually mentally ill as a result of their lifestyle and environment)
- Physically and emotionally fragile
- Indoctrinated by someone you don't know
Or do you want kids who:
- Have real skills: they know how to build, produce food, fend for themselves, socialise with different age groups
- Think critically instead of blindly accepting authority
- Have strong, healthy bodies
- Calm minds
- Have values instilled by you and your community
I know which one I'd want.
But that’s not all, let’s talk about wealth next.
3/ You build real compounding wealth
Most people’s idea of wealth is their stock portfolio, but you can’t eat a JP Morgan stock. And when most people think about compound interest, they think about banks and interest rates.
But the most fundamental form of wealth is land. I'm not talking about holding it as a form of capital either…
True wealth comes from rich, fertile land that can feed you and your community, which ultimately comes down to the health of the soil. Healthy soil is wealthy soil.
Many people take the short-term view, thinking of land as a resource to be extracted from:
- vast expanses of mono-crop
- apartment buildings/shopping malls/parking lots
- worst of all, solar farms
Why are these terrible uses of land? (Aside from the fact that they’re an eyesore)
All of these might be more profitable in the short term, they definitely make money, but what’s the point of a big house if it disconnects you from your natural rhythms? What’s the point of being able to eat at fancy restaurants when the food you’re eating is toxic?
And on a broader level what happens over time?
Less fertile farmland -> poorer quality food -> food security falls through the floor
So what should we do instead?
Permaculture and regenerative farming.
These are not just ways of producing food, they’re investments. Investing in your land (and yourself) with regenerative practices leads to more biodiversity, nutrient-dense food, and as a bonus, heals the earth. And the effects compound:
Healthier soil → healthier plants → healthier animals (including humans)
Crops grow more resilient to extreme weather events
And as a bonus for the climate warriors, healthy soil acts as a carbon sink, capturing carbon from the atmosphere.
The reason this is becoming SO important is because with the rapid advances in technology, we are going to decide, as a species, how we want to move forward.
And we need to decide that now.

This is the only way I see. (which ironically, looks like moving backwards to most people)
So now the question is…
Where do you start? How do you get there?

Well to start, I know not everyone is in a position to make a huge lifestyle shift. But there is always something you can do to align your actions with what you say is important.
Maybe your job and friends keep you in the city. You can support one that's further away by buying their produce, joining their private members club, or spreading the word about their project.
Or if you can get to one, even better!
Volunteer and contribute to their project: skills, labour, resources. Everyone has something they can contribute.
And speaking from experience, you’ll learn a HUGE amount after just a few days, and make some great friends along the way.
But if you're lucky enough to be in a position where you're ready to take the leap - maybe you've got some kids and you don't want to raise them on vapes and woke propaganda - then we’ve got news for you.


If you’ve been following the social media, you’ll know things have been moving fast on One Tree Farm.
We’ve put together a complete guide to show you how anyone (with the right initiative) can access land to start their own small-scale project, debt-free, and generate a regular income - releasing this Friday.
Make no mistake, this transition doesn’t happen overnight. But we fully believe this is the only way forward if you value health and connection.
And if you do as well, then we want to help you do it.
To your freedom and independence,
Rob
