NEW: About 60 Amish community members from central Pennsylvania build 12 tiny homes in Boone, North Carolina in just two days.
The men had to head back home but are coming back in January to build more.
Not only did they donate their time, but they also donated about $300,000 to complete the project according to High County Press.
Local man Luc Henry says he was inspired by the Amish and will be finishing up the homes to help Hurricane Helene victims.
“I was talking to Aaron, the name of the Amish gentleman leading the crew, and Aaron explained to me they are here building temporary housing units for people displaced by Helene,” Henry said.
“They erected everything from the outside in, framed out the walls, framed out the roof, ran the electric.”

What is the difference between Italian and Russian bees?
Italian and Russian bees are both excellent breeds for beekeeping, although they have a tendency to swarm. Each race of bee is hard-working and can produce large amounts of honey in the right conditions. Italian bees are less aggressive and easier to requeen but are more likely to rob. The Russian breed overwinters well and has good resistance to varroa mites and other pests.
1. Appearance
The Italian bee has yellowish-brown bands on a brown abdomen. The queen is often a darker shade of orange or leathery brown, making it easier for beekeepers to spot her in the hive.
Pure Russian honey bees are typically a black or dark brown shade with pale yellow stripes. But if the hive requeens, she could mate with other drone breeds, which will alter the appearance of the colony.
2. Origin
Researchers believe Italian bees originated from the southern region of Italy. In 1859, Italian honey bees were introduced to America, where they soon replaced German bees. Italian bees are now on every ...
“Whoever controls the food supply controls the people.”
Society can only survive and fully function with a robust and ample food supply & security. All roads lead from that. That’s why supporting farmers and farming is probably the most important campaign in this era. Without food (ideally fresh & local) societies crumble and public health diminishes.
Over the past 40 years, many of our public and essential assets have been sold off or plundered for corporate greed. Land is one of the last remaining asset grab battles. Support our farmers. Our food supply depends on them.
