Your Friendly Neighborhood Farmer
Want to be more connected to nature and live a life of sparkling authenticity? Me too! Join me now and let's make magic together!
Welcome, my friends!
I’m Sam, your friendly neighborhood farmer. It’s so nice to “meet” you here! I started this publication to share my knowledge of agriculture and nature with those seeking a life in greater connection to nature, and also to practice and promote a life of authenticity.
When you stand before the world, unafraid to express your truth, allowing your light to shine through, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same. Join me in creating a cultural movement in authenticity and let your light shine bright for all to see.
To learn more about who I am and how I came to be a farmer with a passion for wildlife conservation, I invite you to check out this post: How I Bought a Farm With NO Money.
To learn more about the Runamuk Acres Conservation Farm, what we do, grow, and the methods of agricultural conservation that we emply, please check out the farm website.
This publication is free, but we really need your help to keep it going and to support conservation efforts at Runamuk. Please consider subscribing as a free or paid member. Even a simple share, restack or recommendation supports my work. I thank you for your kindly consideration.
A Literary CSA
What I’m proposing is a sort of “literary CSA”. Where members subscribe to to support efforts at the Runamuk Acres Conservation Farm. In exchange, those members receive a share of the “harvest” in the form of intriguing online content and in the community we will grow together.
The CSA model has gained in popularity over the last 10-20 years, but if you’re not a frequenter of your local farmers’ market, you might not be familiar with the term.
“Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a relationship between community members and the farm. Members commit to a whole season, allowing the farmer to offset early season costs such as seeds, amendments, etc. In exchange members receive an abundance and variety of nutritious vegetables over the course of the growing season, along with certain member-perks.”

Subscribers to Runamuk Acres can expect:

Love-Notes: I’ll often share a Note to Substack for readers. This might be 1 or 2 big wins from the day, a photo or thought I want to share. Free to all.

Live conferences: to discuss and gardening, homestead, scratch-cooking, or farming issues you might be struggling with that I could potentially help with.
