Carl Found Onions
Carl was hungry and out of money when he found some onions growing. Just growing right next to a parking lot – not in a garden, not cared for, not planted by anyone on purpose.
That onion tasted so good! And it was free.
One little onion changed Carl’s life and countless others who since have learned from him.

What is Carl Teaching?
What is he teaching? You might ask.
Carl teaches how to get rid of all bills in your life. You know the ones you have to pay every month. Bills like
* house payments/rent
* water
* electricity
* trash
* and the list goes on.
At one point, Carl was living in Northern California with bills totaling $5300 per month. He got that down to $ 75.
Impressive!!
Not Everybody Can Live Without Bills
But Carl is special, right? Not everybody can do that!
Wrong! Carl took 19 families under his wings and helped all of them to reduce their bills to nothing.
Some of the people Carl helped to live a life without bills.
But they all lived in California in the one spot where there is plenty of rain all year long and tomatoes are ripening in December. That is why this can work, right?

Carl heard the argument that his method will never work in a cold climate one time too many. He did what very few would even think about.
Flint, Michigan
Remember the town in Michigan called Flint? The one on the news? The one where people got poisoned by their drinking water?
That is the town Carl picked to move his family. He and his wife were fully aware of all that is wrong with Flint, Michigan.
But they also knew that they have solutions for this town.
They moved to teach people how to be in control of their water supply among other skills. And to show the naysayers that living bill free can be done even in a cold, cold climate.[clickToTweet tweet=”To show the naysayers that living bill free can be done even in a cold, cold climate #podcast #manabufarms”
