Homesteading

SO, YOU SAY YOU’RE STILL ON THE FENCE ABOUT HOMESTEADING?

Attempting to make the switch from buying all your food at the grocery store without a second thought to someone who suddenly has an insatiable desire to garden and milk goats is quite the transition… Ya know?

1. IT CONNECTS YOU WITH YOUR FOOD.
Our society is disturbingly unaware of how our food arrives on our table. Kids don’t have a clue their hamburger once had eyes and a nose, or that their french fries grew in the ground (in the dirt? Ewww…) Homesteading breaks this cycle by getting our fingernails dirty and encouraging us to return to an intimate relationship with the cycles of nature and food production. I’m convinced this is a need every human carries, and returning to it satisfies something deep inside us.
2. IT TASTES GOOD.

So I lied a little up there in point #1. The whole reconnecting with nature thing is only part of the reason we raise our own food. The other reason is that it just plain tastes good. Juicy red strawberries picked mere seconds before landing on your taste buds, happy brown eggs with full-flavored yellow yolks, frothy fresh milk with a five-inch cream line to be turned into golden butter… How can you argue with that? Case closed.
3. IT’LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER.
Homesteading has transformed me as a person in so many ways. I’ll never look at soil, or milk, or eggs, or meat the same way again. So many aspects of life are more clear as I’ve become more aware of the cycles of nature. My palate has improved as I’ve learned how to grow, prepare, and enjoy food with deep flavors. My confidence has grown as I’ve done things which previously seemed unattainable. I am completely convinced pursuing a modern homesteading lifestyle, and becoming more intentional in how we live and eat, is one of the most satisfying and empowering things a person can do.

Thousands of ducks can be raised without water by keeping them inside house, in the same way you raise chickens or other types of poultry birds. But, keep in mind that, in case of raising ducks witho

How to Become a Farmer Without Experience part 1

"Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable." - Wendell Berry. So, you want to become a farmer, but you've never grown a crop or raised livestock before? Not to worry—this article will set you on the path to realizing your dream of being a farmer. 1 Decide why you're interested in farming.  What is motivating you to get into the practice of raising crops and/or animals and leaving the urban area where, usually, more money is to be made without having to work so hard for it?
