From the U.K. ...
It was started as a bi-monthly by David and Katie Thear in 1975 at a time when there was no publication available for smallholders. The last Smallholder magazine had become Popular Gardening over 20 years ago, and was in turn taken over by Amateur Gardening magazine, which is still published today.
In 1975 the whole climate was one of intensive, chemical farming. Following David's redundancy, they moved with their young family to a smallholding in Essex, and learnt the hard way, how to cultivate the soil organically and to raise animals and poultry humanely. The fact that Katie came from a Welsh smallholding background helped, but it was hard work, with few rewards.

Who says you can't homestead in a city? If Ole and Maitri Ersson had their way, Portland might one day change its nickname from "The Rose City" to "The Ruby Chard City." Not that this Southeast Portland couple has anything against flowers. Their postage stamp-sized front yard bursts with color from the 15 or so varieties of flowers Maitri plants every spring. But every other available square inch of space on their 40-by-100-foot lot is devoted to growing food.

The term Harmonic Farming?

It includes Organic Farming, Permaculture, Sustainable Agriculture, Biodynamic Farming and a Holistic approach while using your intuitivity and become more conscious about spiritual forces within nature. So if you hear about the term, this is what I intend it to be. I'm more than happy to help and assist people interested in above topics

We call ourselves "Research Associates". We can think of no better way to describe how we live and what we do. We learn as we go. When a situation arises we know nothing about, we find out how to handle it. Researching, exploring, trial and error. We do these things together as a unit. A family unit. So...Research Associates. We live on a tract of land that was owned a hundred years ago by Samuel Francombe...who has long since gone along with his family. The Francombe Place. Known then as now. We started from scratch.
