What is Farmocalypse Now?

1.  "Farmocalypse Now" is the name of my "farm."

I spent a year or so dreaming about buying a piece of land, 5 acres, 10 acres, 20 acres, 50 acres, I wasn't sure.  I read about farming, I looked at real estate ... and with the help of my wife, realized that it just wasn't going to happen.  Owning two properties, two mortgages, when we really weren't even doing justice to our own home?

So I came the conclusion that this is it:  whatever planting I will do, will be on this property, with all its limitations (and HOA, for one thing, so no animals).  And maybe the attics can be used as a root cellar, maybe I can hang piece of meat up there, lager some beer ... in the winter?

Also, it made now sense for me age-wise to embark on this task 10 years from now, the physical lbor is hard enough as it is, and it is not going to get any easier.

The time for me to "farm" is now.

2.  Then there's also the second meaning, that the current economic/political/monetary/social system in the U.S. (and world?) is approaching its inevitable conclusion (collapse), and it will be helpful to be as self-sufficient as possible when that happens.
