But turning his citified handicap to his best advantage, David explored alternative agricultural avenues that didn't export the scant topsoil he inherited. Three trips to New Zealand and an intense study of pasture management later, he founded the Green Hills Farm Project producer group of north Missouri and helped create the noted Linneus, Missouri Grazing School.
Finding success in marketing home-raised meats and manufacturing poultry processing equipment (chicken pluckers!), he set about homesteading an ideal life in the country, built an off-the-grid, stone-walled, straw bale house with the help of Amish neighbors. He 'hid out' in his paradise while pioneering more innovations to aid the modern rural agri-preneur.
The contrast of being 'head-down and bum-up' at the old family farm helped create the 'work smarter not harder' mantra at the new "Wonderland" farm, and the results are evident in David's charmed life. A staunch believer in the magnetic power of his thoughts and actions, David shows how he lives his life to create a business from heaven, a uniquely green home and productive farmstead, a dynamic community, and loving relationships.visualizza meno
