Welcome to The Suburban Agrarian, a blog by Chad Butler.
This is not my first blog by any means. I have been involved in blogging for a number of years, going back to early 2003. My primary blog (http://butlerblog.com) focuses primarily on WordPress, its development, and the plugins I have developed for it. That is also the site of my technically focused articles (or will be, if I ever finish all my content migration). At this time, there is other content there not related to these topics, but I am trying to move that to a more relevant location.
The focus of suburbanagrarian.com is to be a running commentary of my journey to a more agrarian lifestyle. I believe in agrarian living and would love to move to a self-sustaining existence in the country. But that is not happening at this point. Instead, we continue to live in the suburbs.
That does not mean we cannot incorporate agrarian principles into our everyday life. I believe that by incorporating agrarianism into our here and now, we can live better, healthier lives with less impact on the environment.
I believe that God has given man dominion over His creation. Man is charged with the care of creation. To that end, we should be good stewards of the land. But we should not forget our purpose, nor our Creator. So this blog will focus on bringing the principles of Christian Agrarianism into our everyday lives – even if those lives are lived in an urban or suburban setting.
I hope your efforts are going well.
