The corner we hand off — and the console we send with you.
Our principles are plain about Level 4: it is where we hand you off to the people who live there full time. This is the handshake. One console for the beds, the reservoirs, the animals, the build queue — and a ledger that says whether the place is feeding you yet, as a number instead of a feeling.
Your ground.
Frost dates set the season — when the garden opens, when it closes, how long the engine runs. ZIP gives the same regional estimate as The Garden Plan; correct it if you know better. Local knowledge beats any table.
What needs you
The week's work
Self-sufficiency, measured
The honest number: harvest value as a share of everything your household ate —. Log harvests and grocery runs in the ledger and this tracks itself. Most households start under 5%. Level 4 is the long road past 50%.
