Across North America, small farmers and homesteaders are being regulated out of existence — one bylaw at a time.
In this episode, Nicole breaks down the shocking new Grand Manan bylaw proposal in New Brunswick that could limit how many chickens, goats, or livestock you can own — and even force you to register your animals with the local government.
What’s being sold as “sustainability” and “planning” looks a lot more like control. And it’s not just happening on Grand Manan — it’s happening across Canada and the United States.
Nicole dives deep into the bigger picture:
Why small farms are disappearing faster than ever
How new “green” policies and zoning rules hurt rural independence
What these changes mean for food security and community resilience
And why the fight for local food freedom starts right now
This isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about survival.
📢 If you believe people should have the right to grow food, raise animals, and live freely on their land — this episode is for you.
