We sit down with Geoff Wacker Ohio poultry farmer, Zero Fox Farms, and author of Agricultural Agorism: From Soil to Sovereignty for an unscripted pass at the oldest market in the world: dirt, chickens, handshakes, and the people who still trade without asking permission.
Geoff puts a name on what homesteaders already do. Agorism is the action of the free market. Black and gray when the white market is rigged. Then he walks it into the field: corn-soy lock-in, subsidy paychecks that buy less every year, nectarine contracts that tell a grower to destroy the crop, and the new tractor economy where cameras, licensed parts, and a $19.95 “air conditioning” subscription mean you never actually owned the machine. If they can shut it off, it is not yours.
The road gets muddy in the best way. Lost turkeys. Cornish crosses that hit the cone in five weeks. Red Rangers that wait a week. 36 pound bronze mammoths that will not fit in an oven. Amish neighbors who ship a mailbox with the bill inside. Water-glassed eggs on the counter for a year. Six chickens behind vinyl fence on a Florida quarter acre. A five-gallon bucket of Chadwick cherries. Crypto wallets for people who still think Zano is a neighbor’s dog. Sovereignty, Geoff says, is something you can put your hands in.
Key Takeaways
Agorism is free-market action, not a costume. Most people already do it when they trade eggs, starts, or labor and never file the paperwork.
The book is aimed at homesteaders, market farmers, and fence-sitters microgreens on a windowsill count.
Big Ag is stuck in subsidized corn-soy rotations and long contracts; small plots and direct trade are the exit ramp.
Subscription tractors, cameras, and licensed parts are the same creep as ice-maker refrigerators. Counter-economics answers with old iron and new mechanical builds.
Amish networks are a working agora: high trust, labor-for-labor, wells without permits, trade that crosses state lines.
Start stupid-small. Six hens. Extra tomato starts. A worm bin. One bucket of cherries. Action beats the keyboard.
