Listen to our podcasts detailing our reduced workload from:

• Weed-Less/Water-Less Gardens,
• Northern Hardy Permacultured Gardens & woodlands,
• Raising Sheep & Goats for Dairy for dairy as well as to improve the soil,
• Chickens for Eggs, Meat & to clean up bugs,
• Seed Saving,
• mushrooms and more.

• We yearly expand our orchards with fruit and nut trees. These all work together as any one part of the food production could not work without the other - the soil would not be improved if the animals weren't here. The animals wouldn't be here if the soil wasn't improved. . .it all works together.

We are big believers in maintaining and improving our soil to help us produce the best food we can grow and often reveiw soil improvement products. We add products like bokashi, rock dust, kelp and organic clays for the animals to keep them healthy and parasite free. We have worm beds made from recycled appliances.

This all means healthier food since commercially produced food is a "forced" product for financial gain. Our home grown food is alive with flavor, nutrionally dense and unprocessed with chemicals.

The land we bought was mainly wild and we intend to keep it that way. Of the 36 acres, we use 11 for hay, grains, pasture, gardens, orchards, building sites and growing feedstock for fuel production. The rest are wild with birds, coons, beaver and deer who find this place as an oasis in a sea of monocultured fields.

The podcasts also include our putting food by tips using an ice-room, root cellar, drying links and canning using wood.

Enjoy the journey!
