Maggie Laverman is a prepping, homeschooling mother of four boys who lives in central Iowa. In 2017, she and her husband purchased an old junkyard for cash and have been fixing it up and making it their dream homestead and prepper haven ever since. Besides doing most of the construction themselves, the family raises pastured hogs, geese, ducks, meat chickens, and laying hens on their lovingly named farm, Cluck Cluck Goose. Maggie and the boys have been incubating and hatching various species and breeds of poultry for local customers and have even enjoyed hand-raising and placing guard geese in the … Continue reading →

After a 3 year absence I have brought Muscovy Ducks back to Nine Mile Farm.  And there is a reason; well, at least 16 reasons they are back.  I can sum it up this way though, they are the perfect bird for homesteading and for permaculture systems. Doubt me?  Well tune in today for a fun episode where we completely ignore the news cycle, politics, bad news, etc and dig into why the Marvelous Muscovy is such a great choice in small livestock for food production systems from small to large. Join Me Today to Discuss… Sixteen Reasons Muscovies are … Continue reading →

Duck Chronicles Has Returned

The Survival Podcast Posted on September 19, 2018 by Modern SurvivalSeptember 19, 2018

After a long break Nine Mile Farm again has ducks.  This time around we are going with “homestead ducks”.  Just a small flock for our personal use.  The new flock will be 8 ducks and 2 drakes (assuming everyone makes it out of the brooder alive). They are all Rouens so if we hatch any ducklings eventually we know exactly what we are going to get.  I picked them up today, got them into the brooder and made three videos.  From this point forward we will likely put out 3-5 videos a week as they grow and have their first … Continue reading →

Jon Dowie is a permaculturist that has been raising ducks for meat and eggs for 5 years now in Southern NH on a .6 acre lot. He has taken a small flock of ducks from a hobby to a flock of over 60 egg layers that turns a profit. He experiments with different tractoring methods and over-wintering techniques. In addition he started out as a traditional modern farming method flock and is transitioning his flock into a permaculture style system. I first met Jon Dowie in 2013 when he came to the first ever TSP Workshop.   By that time I … Continue reading →

Episode-1493- Adventures in Raising Ducks

Our duck activities have garnered a lot of requests for a full show on just ducks.  So today I will do my best.  I have been reluctant to do so for a few reasons.  The first is ducks are a new thing to me. I  grew up caring at least at times for chickens and geese.  I know their requirements well. While I observed lots of semi wild muscovies in Florida, I was not responsible for their care other than feeding them surplus fishing bait.  As of right now my direct experience in duck husbandry is about 8 months long.  … Continue reading →

This is a great time of the year to look back at 2014 and begin fall/winter planning as well.  2014 was a big and very active year at the TSP ranch. It also saw the launch of PermaEthos, AgriTrue, the TSP Wiki, SchoolStupidity.com and now we will soon be releasing  GenForward.com. While I will talk a little bit about those things today I really want to focus mostly on the on the ground homestead improvements and lessons.  We now have a very large flock of chickens and a pretty good sized group of ducks.  The exciting part is our ducks … Continue reading →

Time for a simple old school style TSP that is basically a chat with Jack.  Today we take a look a what 2014 has in store for life at the TSP homestead.  The first year here was mostly an infrastructure establishment phase.  We installed swales and hugul beds.  We also built facilities for our livestock, systems to move they though the land, etc.  We installed garden ponds and many other systems. The entire first year of establishment is actually available in a 90 minute video we filmed that you can find here.  The key is the first year was like … Continue reading →

Time for a four parter, as I said I am making it up to you guys for lost time during recent travel and I suspect at least one show will not happen next week as well with the workshop and all. So today here is what we have on hand. First I am going to talk about why the “big news” about bitcoin is not big news in any negative way.  Of course I mean the IRS ruling that BTC is property and not currency.  Anyone running a business publicly collecting BTC should have greeted this announcement with a resounding … Continue reading →
