No matter how much they deny it, the main stream media, organizations like the WEF and the government have declared war on meat. They appear to want the peasants to live on gruel, soy and insects.

Join Me Today to Discuss… First the war on meat is a real thing, here’s why I think they are doing it They do not want a strong and healthy population Grains are easy to regulate and control and store They are environmentally and … Continue reading →

In my recent talk with Ken Berry about home meat/egg production the subject of quail came up.  It may be the easiest and fastest way into production for the largest number of people.  Eggs hatch in 18 days, young meat birds are ready for harvest in 6 weeks, new layers start laying in 7 weeks.  You can breed your own replacements.  It can all be done in a back yard or even a garage.  Today we talk about how to maximize this highly over looked aspect of home meat production.

One thing I hear so many successful people in the food production world say almost every time one of them speaks is “grow at least some of your own food”.  The problem is the only solution they usually provide is something like, “even if it is just some herbs in a window”. Now don’t get me wrong, as you will see today I think growing some herbs is a great idea but I also see it as one and only one step in making a meaningful contribution to your diet and life though growing your own food.  What I tried … Continue reading →

Today I am going to use a variety of projects I am currently planning and implementing here at Nine Mile Farm to teach you about function stacking.  Function stacking is a key principle in permaculture but it should really be a key principle in all design. Geoff Lawton says “the more restrictions on a design, the more eloquent the design” and it is always how you see function stacking show up even when designers don’t use the term.  A perfect example is all the “tiny house” TV shows and videos.  Equally you see it in RVs. As soon as that … Continue reading →

Small livestock are great to have around.  They are the best way to produce protein and fat we have.  They do this with meat and eggs along with dairy in the case of things like goats.  We have talked a lot about this in the past and we will do so again in the future but today I want to start zeroing in on fertility. I am going to tell you about one of our biggest problems leading off today and yet one almost no one even bothers to consider, look at or try to solve.  That problem is we … Continue reading →
