Subistence farmer pursues life with less reliance
A Manhattan native, Tim Coughenour, 53, moved to Lawrence to farm full time and pursue subsistence living. He warns most work serves the economy, not need, and aims to depend on self-sufficiency, hand harvesting wheat, rainwater collection, and a minimalist budget. He hopes to inspire a community of practices accessible to people with limited means.
