I'm Choosing Self Reliance Over The System

Why I Started Gardening (Exit & Build + Backyard Chickens) In this Coffee with Hales episode, I share how my husband and I started gardening and raising backyard chickens after a 2020 “reality check” about grocery-store food, government overreach, and the doom-and-gloom alternative media cycle. We began with two garden beds as a small, positive way to channel frustration, build self-sufficiency, and opt out of supporting large corporations—without pretending it’s about saving money. That grew into chickens for eggs (and an egg stand), then buying meat locally, getting raw milk from a small farm, and applying an “exit and build” strategy to other areas like banking and entertainment. If you feel overwhelmed by constant bad news, I encourage you to “be where your feet are,” focus on what you can control, and take one small step—like a garden—toward more autonomy, healthier food, and a lifestyle rooted in faith and creation.
