What We Do
America’s future depends on families being able to feed themselves again.
We left that life because the toil was too much.
Technology and technique will be our salvation.
Our Mission - Democratized Homestead Tech
The technology we develop will be:
Open source
Professionally engineered
Tested
Properly documented
Manufacturable by people of ordinary skill
The technology can include, but is not limited to:
Microclimate weather stations
Water level sensors
Rainwater collection systems
Small tractors
Greenhouses
Planters
Electric fence energizers

A Message from the Farmgineer:
I don’t want anyone’s money. I have enough. This is about giving back. If you want to help, you can spread the message. We cannot rely on mysticism and traditional technique to give us a practical scale and time investment.
These designs are for single-family farms, also known as homesteads. There aren’t enough hours in the day to homestead without technology. A device that saves 6.8 minutes a day ends up saving 40 hours over the year.
You get two work weeks back in a year by saving 7 minutes a day.
The future of homesteading depends on democratized, micro-footprint technology that enables a fully functional homestead on less than an hour of labor per day.
I have a vision for open source that will change the world.
The current open source model:
Fully voluntary with no compensation to creators
Has no guaranteed testing, reviews, or oversight
Is manufacturable only by an experienced developer/engineer
Is not designed to any standard of quality
My vision for open source going forward:
Has voluntary and paid engineer creators
Contains notices of what is tested, reviewed, all under engineering oversight
Can be manufactured by normal people
Is designed to be low cost, reliable, and manufacturable
