The Apostate Farmer - Sermo Humilis

Meet Christian, the mild-mannered man behind The Ice Age Farmer. He's an unassuming young family man who teaches people the why and how of growing your own food.

A fading beauty steps into a hip city cafe. Her brow filled with botox, eyes and lips coated in Monsanto's finest. Her hair and nails look and feel like nothing found on earth.
