2022 Earthbound Farmer's Almanac
All proceeds from almanac sales go towards the Earthbound Farmers Almanac project. In addition to being exclusively available online here at Emergent Goods, the Almanacs that Lobelia Commons can afford to print find their way for free or for local fundraising to farmer's markets, bookfairs, infoshops, rural feed-stores, thrift shops, and community gardens around the US and internationally.
You can still get a copy the 2021 Earthbound Farmer's Almanac here while supplies last, or for free as a pdf to share or print.
Some words describing the project:
"This is a Farmer's Almanac for the end of the world. Growing food used to be a lot more straightforward, when you'd plant your okra the same time every year like your grandpa did. Now we've got to be ready for anything – late Spring freezes, freak heat waves that bring plants out of dormancy too early, fire season longer every year, the polar vortex – and if that wasn't enough, we've also got to contend with the fallout from breakages in the global supply chain, when millions of gallons of milk get poured down the drain and mountains of potatoes are left to rot. It's a world that calls for a new kind of Farmer's Almanac.
Today's crisis has roots in the earliest moments of land theft against native peoples, a process that has continued alongside hundreds of years of slavery and colonization. The way forward, out of this mess, will mean grappling with the crimes of the past as well as charting a new course guided by black and indigenous knowledge, creative experimentation in food production and paying attention across generational and species divides."
