Dear Friend,

When I was growing up in a lower-middle-class family, there was a lot of talk (and sometimes anxiety) about finances. We’d worry about shoes, clothes, book fees, and field trip spending money. But one thing we never had to worry about was where our next meal was coming from. You see, my parents managed to buy a small house with about an acre of land, and they turned that modest plot into a food-generating machine. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were never in question because we knew how to grow, plan, and make the most of what we had.

Fast forward to today—I have a great job, and my kids don’t share the same worries I had as a child. They’re probably a bit spoiled, if I’m honest. But one thing remains the same: we still produce and source our food, just like my parents did. We know how to plan for our needs, produce or source what we planned for, measure our inputs and outputs, and make adjustments to keep improving. This isn’t just about food—it’s about peace of mind, knowing we are self-reliant and connected to the land and our community.

That’s the essence of Hyper Local Harvest Hub and the Grow Model food system. It’s about building a simple, scalable system that ensures you can feed your family with the highest quality, clean foods no matter what is going on around you. You will never have to wonder where your next meal will come from. You might think you don’t have the time, the skill, or the land to do this—but I promise, you do, and you can. I’ve seen it work for countless families, and I want to help as many people as I can succeed. And that’s where Hub Notes comes in.

What is Hub Notes? Hub Notes is your starting point—a modern spin on the old correspondence course. It’s a weekly newsletter that combines practical, hands-on knowledge with a friendly, community-driven approach to growing, sourcing, and enjoying your food. Think of it as your guide to building your very own hyper-local food system, step by step.

And the best part? It’s absolutely free. But the value you’ll get from Hub Notes isn’t measured in dollars and cents alone. It’s measured in peace, connection, and the satisfaction of knowing that you can provide for yourself and your family, no matter what.
