EARTHINEER.com
Earthineer looks to support and promote sustainability as a lifestyle choice. We believe that farming, homesteading, and self-reliance should be celebrated. At its core, that is what Earthineer is about - making a stronger connection to nature, being a good steward of the land, and bringing a renewal to our sense of community.
All of the content is user-driven. We credit our members with making the site what it is today.
How did this site come about?
It
all started with a barn-raising. 8 years ago, Dan and Leah Adams
participated in a barn-raising in southern Indiana. It was that
experience that they credit with the decision to make a lifestyle
change. They started re-skilling themselves - rehabbing an old house,
planting and growing, seed saving, learning about soil and composting,
canning, preserving, and pickling.
After working at a software development firm for 9 years, Dan was laid off in 2006 and started his own business as a software consultant. At the end of 2008, the economy staggered (as did his consultant work), and in 2009 their son, Noah, was born- these two events served as further catalysts for change. At the end of 2010, Dan decided to combine what he knew (programming) with what he was passionate about, and started what was to become Earthineer...even better, his wife was willing to let him do it.
