The Walden Effect: Homesteading Year 4. Farming, simple living, permaculture, and invention.

Mark screwing a header in placeMark is half of the duo behind Walden Effect.  Although he grew up in the suburbs in Ohio and never considered living the farm life until recently, his family's roots lie in hard-scrabble farming in eastern Kentucky and farming seems to run in his blood.  While Anna putters with her seed packets and makes planting charts, Mark does the hard work of tilling, fencing, building chicken tractors, and keeping the farm running smoothly.

Mark loves the freedom of making up his own hours and the self-sufficiency of living off the land. Recently, he has also enjoyed inventing labor-saving farm devices, including his Avian Aqua Miser --- a clean chicken waterer based on chicken nipples --- and his deer deterrent that keeps the garden free of four-footed nibblers for pennies a day.
