Touch the Earth Farm Part farm journal, part spiritual journey, Touch the Earth Farm blog chronicles one family's adventure of living with the land.
An Australian family advocating sustainable living, attachment parenting, homebirth, natural learning, feminism, and social justice.
When many people hear the word "primal" it conjures up caveman-esque images - animalistic, dirty, uncivilised, uneducated. But that's not me. I am an educated middle-class Australian living in the suburbs of a major city and I own a television, a laptop, a mobile phone, and a car. Most people view me as Normal. So why have I chosen "primal" as a descriptor for my home? This is what the Dictionary defines it as,
pri·mal
adj.
1. Being first in time; original; primeval.
2. Of first importance; primary.
This is a blog about getting back to what is important in life. It's about reconnecting with the fundamental needs of the human animal. It's about homebirth, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, babywearing, attachment parenting, home learning, sustainable living, feminism, social justice, and activism. It's about developing secure, healthy attachments with our children; fostering wellness instead of curing sickness; and living an aware life.
We call it a project because there are lots of things going on here. We are a family of four living semi-rurally in our owner-built off-grid straw bale home, attachment parenting, unschooling, farming and homesteading with two other family members on 10 acres. Our goals are self-sufficiency and sustainability as we prepare for the future while living joyfully in the present.
Homesteadin' Unschoolers Homesteadin' Unschoolers Blog Community bcommunitys together unschoolers striving for a more sustainable lifestyle. Whether you're living and working on 100 rural acres or a quarter acre urban homestead, whether just getting started, old hat or still dreaming, join us to celebrate our connection with the land.
