28. The last paragraph
Thu Dec 4, 2025, 05:34 PM
23 hrs ago

The Dells aren’t giving children a head start. They’re giving everyone a warning. This is what it looks like when a nation forgets how to take care of its own people and starts handing the responsibility to the highest bidder.

Sean Carlton is an author and farmer who writes about collapse, institutional failure, and what life looks like after systems stop working. He is a former federal employee and the author of Exit Farming: Starving the Systems That Farm You. He runs Carlton Hill Farm and the Farm for Better community food pantry in West Virginia.

Welcome to Carlton Hill Farm

Located in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Carlton Hill Farm produces high-quality rabbit, quail, and chicken meat along with farm-fresh eggs, seasonal produce, and wildflowers. We built this farm from the ground up to feed ourselves and our community.

We raise our animals with care, grow our produce without shortcuts, and keep every step of production on the farm. By cutting out middlemen and staying small, we offer fair prices while keeping quality and freshness at their peak.

Whether you want tender rabbit, affordable quail, eggs collected that morning, or vegetables picked in season, our goal is simple. Real food, grown with purpose, at a price that makes sense.
