So I was sitting here watching the news, and thinking about the homeless shelters not only for street people but for young mothers. This led me to wondering, why are we donating tons of food that will be gone in a matter of months? Why can't we donate seeds, soil, fertilizer, and land and teach them how to grow their own? Why not have a working farm, where homeless folks can live, build, and tend the land? They live in a large dorm type setting, so why not convert a farm house into the same ordeal? Have a huge barn, like back in the day, with animals to care for, and land to plow. They can grow their own food, raise their own meat/eggs, and actually contribute to their own well being? They could learn to preserve what they harvest, sell their excess, and be productive. They could have a site manager who would ensure they keep the buildings in good condition, the animals fed, and the equipment running. Could this even work????
