Today Marjory Wildcraft of Back Yard Food Production joins us to discuss taking control of your own food supply with home growing, small livestock and community building.

Not long ago humans fed themselves, provided for their on needs and were largely self sufficient. They knew how to feed themselves, how to take care of animals, what to plant and what to do when something went wrong. Marjory’s DVD, “Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm” is your guide to recapturing that lost knowledge.

Join us today as we discuss…

  • Making the move from the corporate world to the rural one
  • Seeing the coming crash was easy if you were looking for it
  • Replacing fear and panic with power and action
  • What is in our food today, why take control
  • Keeping live stock with out living off the feed store
  • The truth about meat, meat isn’t the problem it is what’s in the meat
  • How to deal with killing and butchering your own animals
  • The link between hunting and gratitude during slaughter
  • A free book to identify and harvest wild invasive edible plants (this rocks)
  • Thoughts on GMOs and the risk they represent
  • A differing view on “invasive plant species”
  • The concept of natural succession
