How We Produce 80% of Our Food on 1/2 Acre Homestead

Published 2024-05-25
We grow and raise 80% of our food on our small 1/2 acre homestead through raising a productive vegetable garden, orchard and farm animals. High Tunnel Link:
s.vevor.com/bfQGlt. Being self sufficient can be done with the right planning, intensely planting, a few fruit trees, raising small farm animals like goats, chickens and even turkeys. See how Ali and her husband manage their small 1/2 acre of intensely planted garden, what types of animals they raise and make it all work for them. Ali's biggest advice is to lean on God and be thankful for what we have been given.

  • @resourcefulgirl
    God brought me to my acreage and I'm beyond grateful! To give you an idea of where I'm at I just built 5 raised beds and have 3 of them filled and planted. I'm 60 and doing it alone so the process is painstakingly slow. I'm working full-time and driving into the city 5 days per week. My weekends are spent with nature though. I'm surrounded by God's creation and that awareness is in the forefront of my mind every second. I can tell I'm going to love your channel and I just subscribed. Blessings :)
