Seeking and speaking the truth

Closer to creation. Questioning the mainstream. Seeking the truth.

I’m Zack Riordan, a Christian, back-to-the-lander, researcher, and reader. This December, my wife and I are moving to the Boston Mountains of the Arkansas Ozarks to start a homestead. Follow along from the beginning, and dig into the research, faith, and conversations along the way.
