“This farm isn’t the point. It’s the prototype.”

One year ago our family of nine moved onto 20 acres in the Missouri Ozarks — not to escape the world, but to prove a repeatable path out of dependence, then hand you the map. Everything inside this membership is something we live first, then teach. See it growing in real time on the living Globe — free, no login.

Taught beside the best in the movement

This isn't internet expertise. Jamon has shared the main stage and co-taught live with Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms — the most respected name in regenerative farming — in front of a packed hall of families building exactly what you're about to build.

Everything your membership unlocks

The Independence Series — all 17 courses $799 value

Water, food, resilience, the Four Pillars and beyond — taught from the farm, not a studio. The first courses are open now; every new course lands in your library the day it opens, at no extra cost.

The Digital Resource Library

Printable field guides, workbooks and how-tos across food, water, shelter and beekeeping — download them, print them, keep them in the kitchen drawer where the internet can’t take them back.

The living Globe — premium tools

The 3D map of TIAG communities, hubs and growers. Members unlock the full customizable globe — find your people, map your region, design barter and trade routes.

The Vault — family independence curriculum coming soon

The homeschool & family curriculum — Food, Water, Shelter & Surplus, printables to Master Binder. Being recorded now; included with your membership the day it opens.

10% off storewide at Lulu’s Garden

Heirloom seeds, natural beekeeping, garden beds, soil and books — the community farmers market, with a standing member discount that quietly pays for the membership.

The movement, in your pocket

The TIAG news channel, the in-app chat that reaches a real person, and an app built to work on any phone — with your essential printables usable even when the signal isn’t.

For families planning in decades

Own it outright — forever

TIAG Lifetime is the whole platform, owned: every course and download, every future release, plus the Offline Edition — the member app, course sites, Vault tree and library as real files your household keeps on its own drive. No subscription, no expiry, and nobody can deplatform what lives on your own USB stick.

Fair questions

Can I really cancel anytime?

Yes — from your account on lulusgarden.com, two clicks, no phone call. You keep access through the month you’ve paid for, then it simply ends. Lifetime members are exempt from all of this, forever.

Are all 17 courses available today?

No — and we won’t pretend otherwise. The first courses are live now and new ones are being recorded and released on a rolling schedule. Your membership includes every one of them the day it lands.

Does the $27 membership work offline?

The membership streams online, and your printables and field guides are made to be downloaded and printed. The full Offline Edition — the whole platform as files you own — comes with TIAG Lifetime.

Who is this for?

Families who want real skills and real neighbors — from a first raised bed to a producing homestead. If you want entertainment, keep scrolling; if you want your grocery bill and your weekends back, start here.

What if I get stuck?

Tap the chat bubble anywhere in the app — it goes to a real person (usually Jamon), not a ticket queue.

The path is one decision wide

Your family, one year from now

Either the pantry looks the same — or there’s food you grew, water you trust, skills your kids watched you learn, and people you’d call in a hard week. $27 decides which.
