Thank you for sharing your journey. I am on the same path later in life. It’s extremely hard to transition from living in the city to living rural below minimum wage.

Great article. Thanks for sharing. Building resilience through food security is going to matter in a big way when the industrial consumer society hits bumps in the road as it comes up against planetary limits. Great to hear you are creating a safe space for community and food sovereignty.

I loved this article!! I’m so glad he found his farm and his calling, many people never find their calling. And I so agree, farmers markets can be kind of intimidating, everyone seems so upper middle class. I’m white and cis gendered and I find them intimidating at times, probably because I’ve used food stamps.
And I thought my sisters and I were the only ones who said we would name one of our kids Lightbulb!! We also grew up running through the woods and fields on our parents small farm in Washington state. Thanks again for this article.

This was a meaningful article and I appreciate his authenticity and willingness to be vulnerable to the world about his experience in becoming the farmer he is. Thank you!

As a fellow trans person it is always comforting to hear about the lives of other people like myself. Trans people can be found in every corner of the world, and have existed for as long as people have drawn breath. We have survived this long because of our resiliance, but also because of community! It has been a joy watching Phototaxis Farming Project grow, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here! Good job, Sage!
