I am a beef farmer now! I have those over at the family farm, and raising 10 steers. 1 lucky boy will end up in my freezer and in my pantry. Jars and jars and jars of stew meat, roast, and ground beef.

Totally agree. We live in a world that no on could have comprehended 100 years ago. In all of the issues that we are currently facing, I am done getting caught up in the fray with all of it. You do what you think is right, and I'll do what I think is right. I think we can all agree that there...

You'll have to find me first :thumbsup Then locate the exact location of the firearms....

So, I have been intending to weigh in on the security question, but I have not had the time to set down and really lay out my thoughts on it. First, I think, as we hear about efforts to defund the police, that this is as timely as ever. How do we really secure our homesteads? Ideally, we would...

Raining steady today. So, no work in the garden today.

I froze two quarts of fresh broccoli this afternoon. I picked four nice heads this morning.

Finished mulching potatoes, weeded the squash, and re planted some tomatoes. Also, got the beans staked, and 1/3 of the tomatoes staked. Busy day.

If you have ever kept livestock, and given regular vaccinations, you have been around coronaviruses. My dad claims he is probably immune because he has accidentally taken the cattle vaccines for it ....

Hilled the potatoes for the last time, and got them half mulched. Will finish in the morning, and do some weeding.I have broccoli to cut, and cabbage that is heading.

Canned rabbit is a great substitute for canned chicken. It's almost identical.

“Fleeting” “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” James 4:14 The soul of man is eternal. It was breathed into Adam by the eternal God, and it will always exist. However, the...

Yesterday evening, I weeded and thinned my onion beds and sprayed some homemade weed killer around the raised beds. It really works!

I guess you could call this a game in a way, but I really wanted think it through what it would look like to be as self-reliant as possible with what you do for the minimum. I have copied my earlier post, and then added what this would realistically look like right now. Poultry & Eggs: I think...

I am anxious to see if the cases spike drastically in a few weeks after the protesting, and rioting.

I am going to do two takes at that at my own question. First, I am going to share what I would ideally do and then I am going to share what I would do if I had to do it tomorrow. If, land, time, and resources were not an issue, I think this would be how I would go about it. I would want to be...
