Every time I go into the local convenient store (which i still call the 7-11 since that is what it once was,) and i pay for the lottery ticket, i say to them "and if i win, will you guys go organic".  The cashier whose family owns the store smiles and says yes.  And then  he wishes me good luck. 
I often wonder if they will or if i would need to biy the store from them in order to make it happen. Though personally id still want them to run it for me.  I just hire them somebody extra who would help search out all the locally produced, or sustainably made products that were either organic or gmo free or just simply sustainable made, though ideally it would be locally produced or if from anoher country, like chocolate or coffee, would all be fair trade.
Some products id like to see them selling would be the kambucha tea made locally, all bears would be locally brewed ir if from elsewhere organic,
Orgqnic freeze-Dried fruit,
Locally produced nuts, preferably organic.
I would put a shout out to local sustainable farms that that store would carry products.
Green toilet paper, cordless toilet paper, green products, locally made soaps, etc
And that person i hired would look up how its all made and would write a little info on it to be seen next to the prive tag so that buyer knows the seller better.
No waters from nestle, though water filters and a place to refill water bottles and metal or glass water bottles.
Green nontoxic cleaners
Csa pick ups
Bulk dried foods
Freezer filled with organic gmo healthy yummy breads and tv dinners
Etc etc

Draft of what happened and of what should have happened

So we made a deal with a consultant where he would find someone who would buy my ex out and who would then let us but back the home from them.   What we had understood was that we would be forfeiting our share of the home in order to have more time to raise up the money to buy back our home.. As we had understood it, rent and taxes would be covered for a whole year and we would have exclusive rights to buy back the home for at least a year. With continued living there as an option as long as we could come up with the rent money. But then one month in,  all hellstarted to break loose  when the neighborhood started going after our yard for things that for attributesthat had been tolerated and basically grandfathered in lreviously, but right after the home switched hands they started nitpicking about every little details...  and then...

Some bits that we want to ensure

By
One) we need to make sure that after mom passes away that we are going to be given several years to both one) recover and two) to be able to sort through & organize everything that is there and to sell off 80% of the non edible plants while we make room for and get started on bringing in the perennial  edible plants that will take a couple of years to get established and become productive.  During this time, neither the estate or us will be bringing much, if any, money in --- but the taxes & utilities will still need to be paid.   (I will be lucky if selling the non edible plants will bring in enough money to be able to buy the edible plants.) So we will need the silent investor's help during this time.  We suppose it could be made so that this money will need to be paid back before the estate could be considered "bought back" Two) we will need reassurances that the silent angel investor will help make sure that the estate will be able to buy itself...

Mission Statement

Mission Statement for our Home Project: To digitally record the evolution of our home and our  lives (with a video, audio, & photographic record of whatever we see, hear, observe experience) as we slowly learn to live in regenerative symbiotic harmony both with our home, with ourselves, with each other, with the wildlife and with the overall world around us and with life itself, in order to be able to share this journey both with our future selves, and others, along with whatever future evolving AI comes to exist... Our goal is to be able to do this with the  home and land we have a history with and which holds great sentimental historical value to us.  We wish to be able to utilize our family's land with which to share both our own journey in hopes that will inspire others a a different way of living & thinking that that connects to our past and our desire to teach what we have been learning about creating a food forest edible ...
