September 24, 2025 marks 40 years since our arrival here at LifeGiving Farm, a mostly non-commercial, subsistence farm, on five acres in the northern Rocky Mountains. Our 39th garden season was our most bountiful, so far. We share what we can, locally, but wish we could get some of this bounty to the starving people in far away places, like Gaza and Somalia. Without a massive awakening that moves the humans to hear Mother Earth’s voice and be redirected to the harmonious, symbiotic ways of Earthlife, there will soon not be much life left in many regions of Earth. As I described in my previous post (Natural Consequences), some survivors might have a chance to start over and follow Earth’s ways, but it would be best to start learning Earth’s ways now, rather than after a massive apocalyptic collapse, in the midst of chaos. For more information on the history of LifeGiving Farm, see this informative video on the blog: https://learningearthways.net/2023/01/04/a-brief-history-of-healing-and-regeneration-at-lifegiving-farm/

Learning Earthways 
Great to see you had such a wonderful harvest. If you have good water during summers like this, W Montana can really produce. I have been communicating with a young comrade of yours, Ethan. We have been in the same book discussion group, then I found out he interviewed a colleague of mine, Richard Smith, who authored Green Capitalism: The God That Failed. Lots of amazing connections!

Thanks, Troutsky. Ethan recently told me that he got to meet you and I am very glad to hear that. I mentioned to him a couple of other friends of ours down in your neck of the woods that he should get in touch with, too. Connections build resistance, or at least increase its potential, as you know well. I hope to see you and yours again sometime soon. In solidarity.
Hopefully Ethan sent you a link to the great interview he did with Marisella Chavez for System Change Not Climate Change. If not, here it is.

Thanks, Troutsky. I look forward to watching that. I saved it, liked it, and subscribed to the SCNCC YouTube channel. I didn’t even know that you guys had a channel. I had already bookmarked a couple of articles on your webpage to read and comment on soon. I like that the thumbnail on that interview features Amaranth similar in color to the Amaranth in our garden and the thumbnail of this video. Amazing!
