Look around our site and here you will find many solutions to farming low energy in the future. At MyBackAchers - we believe the solutions to the economic, energy and food crisis all come from the farm.

Learn More About the Problems facing Small Sustainable Farmers: The General Issues - Peak Oil, Economy in Crisis, Genetically Modified Crops (and the Health Problems they cause). We spent 3 years working on the Energy for the Farm issue (conserve and then power up by a multiple of means) and have addressed the health issues of genetically modified foods - Don't Eat That Crap. We also hoped to solve our difficult financial issues as the economy deteriorates by growing real food - nutrient dense, picked at the prime of ripeness real food. So, we have the basic plan in place for the big societal issues.

As of late, our attention is on the Small Farmer Issues - Market Barriers, Regulations and Seasonal Incomes. These issues are not being addressed by any other known group, but please send info to Brian and Sherry if you are solving these issues or know of a group dedicated to them.

Don't know where to start on your own path to sustainable farming? Start here by auditing your basic enegy needs.

Then assess what ways you can conserve on that list. Call us if you have some questions but most of or answers will be- let the animals do more work!

Finally, check out what resources you have. You may have bottom land that can grow cattails (whch make volumes of alcohol for ethanol). You may have piles of manure to make methane. You might have horses that work. You might have a creek that floods but also flows most of the time. Chances are you will have woods to manage into a resource for heat in the future. Whatever your farm energy needs, chances are - with a few adjustments in think, technique and for a little money, you will find yourself on the path to sustainable food, fuel and fiber production. Again, call us if you need a consult on your farm energy needs. Our fees are reasonable and most concerns can be answered over the phone.

Here are some of recent developments:

Check out our Hydro-Electric -Water Bug for your Hydro-Power needs or our JetStove .com Site for wood fired hot water, home or barn heat- Get More Heat With Less Wood! After all- its still work to get that wood ready and plant those trees. The IEA (International Energy Agency) estimates wood for fuel needs will grow by 6+ times in the coming years. If we don't learn better burn technology now- we could risk de-foresting our land. Burn smart and plant more than you take.

We also do small scale liquid fuel production units... Unlike corn ethanol production, our fuel production design strives to use no outside sources of input - just solar, hydro and wood from our farm resources and some good healthy exercise!  

New in our store- Pasture Free Range Chicken. Order Online and we can ship frozen. Capons and Giant Pheasants raised to orders only.
