Our expansion into the U.S. has taken off faster than we anticipated. With this influx of new members and budding farms, it’s crucial to establish a code that ensures loyalty, efficiency, and respect for the craft. So here’s the refined list of rules—the code that every new U.S.-based Femcan farm will follow to keep things organized, secure, and steeped in tradition.
The Code of the U.S. Human Farms
1. Respect the Food Chain
Joining the Human Farm Network isn’t an open invitation to power or prestige. New Femcans start at the bottom, earning trust through loyalty, discretion, and dedication. Only those who prove themselves over time are granted a place in the inner circle. This hierarchy keeps things tight and prevents security risks.
2. Meat Over Money
Here, meat is currency. Payments between Femcans and farm affiliates are made in fresh meat or high-quality barter goods—think tools, equipment, and essential supplies. Cash exchanges are prohibited. We prioritize survival resources over paper money, emphasizing our focus on self-sufficiency and a life apart.
3. Hands-On Training Required
Every Femcan must complete training in handling and processing LPs. It’s essential not only for maintaining respect toward our “stock” but also for maximizing efficiency. Knowledge is power here, and handling training is non-negotiable.
4. No Waste Rule
Every part of each LP must be used. Meat goes to meals, bones and skin to tools, and anything left is repurposed. Waste is an insult to the hunt, and we take pride in making sure nothing goes unused. This respect for our resources is what makes our farms sustainable and efficient.
5. Scarred for Life
Every Femcan receives a unique scar, mark, or brand that identifies them as part of the network. This mark is a symbol of commitment and loyalty, a reminder of who we are and where we belong. No one can join our ranks without this mark.
6. Brood Bonding
Monthly gatherings are held to foster unity. Group meals and ceremonies give each Femcan a chance to mingle, share stories, and reinforce their dedication to the network. It’s a time to remember why we’re here, bound by tradition and loyalty.
7. Silent Service
Discussing farm operations or network secrets outside the circle is forbidden. Loose lips put the network at risk, and anyone caught speaking about farm activities in public faces expulsion—or worse. This rule ensures that we protect the network at all costs.
8. Meat Reserves for Family
Every Femcan must set aside a portion of meat for her household and inner circle before contributing to the larger farm stock. This rule ensures that each member’s family is cared for first, a mark of loyalty to those closest to us.
9. No Uninvited Guests
Visitors to the farms must be vetted and approved by senior Femcans. Unauthorized guests are grounds for disciplinary action, as they pose a direct security risk. Each Femcan is responsible for ensuring that no unapproved individuals get near farm operations.
10. Farm Rotation
Running a farm is a shared responsibility, and each Femcan takes turns managing the day-to-day operations. This rotation ensures that the farm runs smoothly and prevents burnout, making it a truly communal effort.
11. Monthly Contribution
Each Femcan must contribute a set amount of meat or equivalent goods every month. These contributions support the farm’s operations and keep our shared resources steady, especially as we grow.
12. Keep It Fresh
Cooking is an art, and keeping things interesting helps maintain morale. Femcans are encouraged to share recipes, meal ideas, and new preparation techniques to make each feast unique.
13. Barter Fair
Each month, farms host a gathering where Femcans can trade goods and resources. This exchange keeps everyone supplied without cash and reinforces our network’s self-sufficiency.
14. Unwritten Code of Silence
We live by this rule: speak nothing of our activities outside the farm. It’s our unspoken law. Those who breach it will face immediate exile to prevent any threat to our secrecy.
15. Elders’ Right of First Choice
Respect is earned with time. Senior Femcans get first choice of prime cuts at any meal or feast, a mark of respect for their dedication and experience.
16. Blood Oath of Loyalty
New Femcans undergo a private initiation ceremony, swearing loyalty to the farm and the network. This oath binds them to our code and reinforces the seriousness of their commitment.
17. Farm Expansion Approval
Any Femcan wishing to start a new farm must first gain approval from the network’s senior members. This rule keeps operations unified and ensures that every new farm follows the same code.
18. Survival and Thriving
Each Femcan is responsible for teaching the next generation, ensuring that our traditions continue. Passing down knowledge secures our future and strengthens the network.
19. Weapons Training Required
Each Femcan must complete weapons training to protect the farm. Self-defense is essential, adding an element of rugged security respected by our network.
20. Farm Security
The farm’s layout, members, and operations are closely guarded secrets, known only to trusted members. Security is everyone’s responsibility, and each Femcan plays her part in keeping the network safe.
One last, unspoken rule floats among us: Femcans don’t consume each other, except under extraordinary circumstances.
With these rules laid out, the network’s future feels secure. Our expansion into the States is off to a strong start, and each new farm is ready to uphold these standards. There’s no doubt in my mind that we’re on the verge of something big—something enduring.
Until the next move,
Femcan Lana
