Our Mission in Life Has Changed

Since Bruce’s heart attack in 2020 and his 13-month struggle to regain his health, we’ve dived deep into researching how to restore and strengthen our health.

We THOUGHT we were on the right path for a healthy diet … we cut out sugar, processed food, fast food, seed oils and simple carbs. We bought organic food and grass-fed meat from the grocery stores.

What we have learned over the past three years of research into our nation’s food system was shocking, appalling and frightening.

And it all comes down to our soil which has been destroyed by industrial farming.

Our mission?

We MUST first heal the soil to heal ourselves!

The key to health is eating dirt!

No, don’t worry – This doesn’t mean swallowing a spoonful of dirt from your backyard like curious little kids do. (I’m pretty sure I did this when I was a little girl. Did you?)

It means that we will:

  • Change from depending on and eating the *toxic* food produced by industrial farming.
  • Instead, grow our own food in cooperation with the way Mother Earth intended.

The health of our soil in the US has been declining rapidly. According to a study by Cornell University, topsoil is disappearing in the United States nearly 10 times faster than it can be replaced.

The erosion of our soil began when farmers began plowing fields. It must have seemed like a progressive, efficient move at first, especially when farming massively huge acres. (Some of the largest farms in the US cover 190,000 acres!)  

Plowing causes our top soil to be exposed, leading to erosion. This has affected the health of everything necessary for Earth’s sustainability … plants, animals, water, climate and humans.

There are additional causes contributing to the demise, to the destruction of our soil as well as the destruction of our health. With the increased use of GMO enhanced seeds; the heavy HEAVY use of pesticides and fertilizers, Mother Earth is gasping. Spraying the soil destroys the microbes that we need.

While industrial farming will continue on as it always has (having no regard for the damage to our eco-system), we can begin to heal Mother Earth, a few acres at a time.

Many of us think “Well, we will buy only organic food and grass fed meat at the store.” Hold on.
You’ll want to read what we’ve discovered with over three years of research.

This is why we are leaving the road.

ON WITH OUR MISSION!

We are currently in the process of obtaining land to implement regenerative farming practices that will restore and heal the soil – and provide healthy food for us to eat, and to share with others.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

If you are still reading, maybe, just maybe you have also been called by Mother Nature to heal the planet so that we may heal Mankind.

You want to help change the world.

Our farm is going to require a lot of help from others who have skills and services to offer.

YOU can be instrumental in helping us build this dream
that WILL heal our piece of the planet and heal people.

We are not looking for just anybody.

That’s why there is no opt-in just yet …

We only want those who feel a strong connection to Nature. Who feel a tugging in their heart.

Who truly, truly “get it.”

Just say NO to Industrial Farming

Get the highest quality, ethically raised, sustainable meats from family farmers 
delivered to your doorstep for 25-40% savings.

Our planet is in peril because industrial farming practices are destroying earth’s natural eco-system.

You want your family to be healthy, so you bite the bullet and pay the outrageous prices at the grocery store for grass fed meat….

What you don’t know WILL affect your plan to eat healthy, grass-fed meat.

The SCAM

Grass Fed doesn’t mean what you think:

  • The cattle can be fed GMO-laden, pesticide and herbicide-treated grain to plump them up before slaughter and still qualify (according to USDA) to be labeled grass-fed.
  • USDA allows imports of cheap beef labeled grass-fed by that country’s standards.
  • Cheap imports of grass-fed beef comprise 75-80% of annual US sales.
  • Chickens sold as cage-free, free-range aren’t as free as it sounds.
  • USDA lax requirements don’t specify how large the outdoor area needs to be or long the chickens have access to it.
  • Cage-free and free-range labeled chickens are usually stuffed shoulder-to-shoulder in a barn, tighter than 3rd class passengers on the Titanic.
  • These chickens are fed grain instead of allowing natural foraging.

WHERE TO FIND TRUE GRASS-FED MEAT

Buying grass-fed meat from local farmers instead of the *questionable* meat found in the grocery stores is ideal. That’s not an option for everyone, including us. But we found the answer!

Wild Pastures provides not only truly grass-fed beef, but also chicken and pork – from local farmers – delivered to your doorstep in either re-usable or fully bio-degradable packaging.

“Wild Pastures is a network of highly principled farmers in the USA
raising their animals on lush pastures – the way nature intended.
Our farmers value raising healthy, happy animals in a way
that is humane, sustainable, and restores the environment.
Our farmers use rotational grazing, do absolutely no tilling,
use no pesticides or herbicides on pasture, and use zero GMO’s.”

We love knowing that the meat we are eating is the healthiest and that we
are supporting local farmers. Win/Win!

The Naked Hippies Have Some Explaining to Do

We’ve returned to our winter home in the desert in Quartzsite, Arizona for the sixth year and it appears to many that we’ve disappeared. For the past five years, we’ve camped in the same spot … on the main busy road, close to the tent where various social activities take place, in full view and available to anyone who stopped by to say hi.

Someone else is now camping in our usual spot enjoying my rock creations. People are wondering

“Where are Bruce and Trisha?”

Change is inevitable, and the disruption it causes
 often brings both inconvenience and opportunity.
— Robert Scoble

It has been quite a disruptive year for us. And, per the above quote … we endured a lot of inconveniences leading us to making a major change in our life.

Last April, we were all set to head to Missouri to see family and friends that we hadn’t been able to visit for two years. The itinerary was fully planned with immense excitement for the many reunions we’d have as we hopped from place to place across the state. And then …

Our last task of filling the fuel tank started the plethora of disruptions that became the theme of our road trip. Unfortunately for us, there was gasoline mixed in with the diesel and Ramsey (our Dodge Ram pickup) immediately got sick. We were towed to our local mechanic who drained the fuel, flushed the lines and wished us safe travels.

From that first tow in April, to when we finally returned to Arizona for the winter in October, Ramsey was towed five times. Disruptions that caused a huge blow to our budget. The numerous repairs plus having to stay in motels while the truck was in the shop mounted to several thousand dollars.

We were blessed by the many people who helped us, especially our dear friends (and Ramsey’s mechanic) Ray and Carol.

Our discussions turned serious.

Oh, we had already tip-toed around making a change in our lifestyle when Bruce had a heart attack and suffered for 13 months until we ditched the meds and chose to take control of his healing through a healthy diet and natural supplements. During those dark and frightening 13 months, we made end of life plans, talked about leaving the road.

With his total recovery, feeling better than he ever had in his life, we resumed our road trip life. The *discussion* was put on the back burner when we agreed that we would KNOW when it was time.

The disruptions of our summer brought the discussion back. We KNEW it was now the time.

We had no idea, no plan of the where, when and how we would be able to make this huge change.

We needed peace and quiet.

Needed isolation to reflect, to contemplate and restore our souls after the hellish summer of travel.

This winter would be a time of searching for guidance and answers. That’s why we moved further out into the desert, away from people and activities.

Another reason we decided to isolate was the disruption caused by health issues I’ve been dealing with for months. While we still don’t have answers until the cardiologist studies the test results, the solitude provided out here in the wide-open expanse of sky and mountains, saguaros and Palo Verde trees is exactly what I needed.

Disruption and chaos always bring opportunities. Because we have learned this from experiences, we are open to all possibilities, all opportunities … and they are springing forth.

The quick and easy change would be to find an apartment or an RV park where we would settle down.

But, we want MORE … more life, more adventures, even more challenges.

This isn’t our first rodeo. We’ve been living our dream since 2009 … we can do it again.

There is excitement building out here in the desert.

There is one possibility that is getting our juices going!

We still have much to learn, to consider, to decide before we share with you. Until then, just know that we are following our hearts’ nudges and guidance with a desire to not only help us, but to help others.

With love beyond measure,
