As soon as I say fermentation most jump to making alcohol.  And yes that is one kind but we are going to do a mile high view of many types of fermentation today. Man has been using fermentation for longer than he has even really known what it is.  From the first honey in water in a sack made of leather to kick off into mead, to the first flour and water to rise on its own, to the first salted vegetables to sweat out and become sour and crispy, man used this process without understanding it.

Okay I called today’s show “Half Acre Homesteading” because marketing.  The use of two words in a 2-3 word phrase is good at grabbing attention, think “Taco Tuesdays” or anything in that vein.  You don’t need a half acre to make today’s show work for you,  you can do most of this on even a postage stamp lot, many do.  Likewise even if you have a lot more land, then this is what we call zone one design. Creation of a 1/20th – 1/2 acre system that you spend the majority of your activity on and hence it is ultra … Continue reading →

Expert council member and long time TSP community member Chef Keith Snow joins us today to discuss food storage beyond rice, beans, potatoes and pasta.  Sure these staples are cheap and easy to store but if you cannot or don’t want top live on them what’s the alternative?

Recently due to some health issues Chef Keith tried a vegan approach to his diet, after … Continue reading →
