Episode 36 My Homestead Plans




Hunt Gather Grow Eat show

Summary: I'm on my way to Seven Springs, PA to present at The Mother Earth News Fair but I was able get a show recorded and in the queue.  In today's episode I talk (as promised) about some of my plans for my homestead.  I was originally going to call this my permaculture plan but I think I've started working on more of a system basis.  I'm thinking less about how to keep a system going and more about keeping all of the systems working and playing off each other. *I built the chicken house and run, what next?  *I want a pig pen but I'm also going to pasture them or as Joel Salatin calls it "Acorn-finished" or pigaerators. *My tough choice between having enough land for a cow or two. *Some of the wild resources I have right next to my land and how I plan to utilize them. *All of my animals are going to work just by being animals.  Fertlizing things downhill, weeding, working the soil, etc.
