The 7 Principles

this has been swimming in my mind these days “grow what you can – and share with your neighbours and friends “

The 7 Principles

I’ve been thinking about the 7 Principles of The Wealthy Acre a lot lately, and I think I was making them more complicated than they needed to be.

For me, they really come down to this: own something real, learn useful skills, grow what you can, protect your peace, build financial resilience, take good care of your land and animals, and depend a little less on things outside your control.

I’m not trying to live completely off-grid or do everything myself. I just want to be a little more capable, a little more prepared, and have more choices in how I live my life.

That’s it, really.

And I think that’s a pretty good life to keep working toward.
