The Reality of Food Self-Sufficiency

What cover crops do you use, and how do you choose them? I like that technique of crimping and covering to prepare for planting. It looks much more efficient than what I have been doing, cutting tall grass and weeds and then using them as thatch.

Do you use pesticides?

The animals don’t want to be tortured and murdered

Did they give you their permission to go this?

🩸👎

White privilege at it's finest

your a good example for others. please keep up the good work and remember this: your doing this- partly- to give your kids a great life and perpetuate this kid of life onto the next generation. This is one awesome way to help heal the earth.

❤❤❤SUBSCRIBED WHAT A SUPERMUM ,Really sad about the tomatoes, Cos u did the fodder crop I studied Agriculture and Horticulture and with the weather NOTHING IS EASY +BABE NO WONDER U SO HOT ALL THAT WORK I really hope u get lots of food for those cute kids you hv I am watching from Australia and we Australian people a lot of us including me are just learning that YER we should be seriously growing and storing food I admire u all who do this and make it look easy because I know it is not Were I am we hv QUITE NARSTY winds I really need a very strong wind mill 🤣🥰😍🤩❤️‍🔥 Lots of ❤

I want to one day harvest my own food too but I don’t think I could kill the animal’s after caring for them because I love animals too much. I will just stick to the veggies lol!!

Great video! I bet using a broadfork on both sides of the tomatoes would have helped the situation without having to dig them up. Havent had drainage issues since ive had that tool and i only do each bed once a year sometimes everyother year.

Your home and land is absolutely beautiful. Can you share what state or even which region your homestead is in?

If more women were as calming as her they would make their men so happy lol

the problem is a lot of people make $20/hr or more at work and can't grow $20/hr of food after the expenses to grow it. It's better to buy it and have money left over to enjoy other things in life.

Thank you for the video! One question I have is how long you guys can manage to stay away from your farm/homestead while raising the animals.

Doesn't seem like that much work.... lol

Great family great garden , God bless you guys..

Is your goal self-sufficient off-grid living or is it business.. because if it's business fuey on you..

I am wondering if you have a recipe to share for your lemon strawberry jam. I see you used Honey instead of sugar and i'd love to do that for my family.
Thank you 🥰

I plat my asparagus (like you plat your hair) and it stand upright and stays out of the way. It works really well.

I'm so sorry dear that your tomatoes didn't work for the first time,but I am pretty sure that next time work will, because you learned your lesson.I love what you do thanks for sharing your video.

Food for thought...when you go to the store to buy your food, you are paying for the farmer to grow it. Then your paying the trucker to deliver it to a store. Then the store is going to sell it at a high enough price that they can pay the employees as well as themselves. In order for you to pay for the "convenience", you have to go to a job, and work. So, you didnt get out of hard work. You just did different work. Kind of like how people no longer fix their own cars, or anything themselves for that matter. Think of how much money you fork out to pay a mechanic or a plummer or a carpenter when something breaks. Used to be your grandpa or dad knew how to "do everything." Anymore, people cant do anything themselves. We have to work tons of hours at a job to cover the cost of things we are no longer skilled at. When we could learn these skills like grandpa, and save a heck of a lot of money doing it ourselves. Calculate it out sometime. You would be impressed.

Do you guys use the no-till method (back to Eden)?
I noticed that you use a cover crop, and have that mulch layer on top of the soil.

That seems like a great idea, as the cover crops will provide nitrogen to the chips and break them down faster and enrich the soil quicker.
