HOMESTEAD LIFE

From raising your own poultry for meat, eggs, or both to goats for meat or milk or other small livestock for food, manure production for healthy soil, and much more. Homestead living is taking control of your food (and where it comes from) can be as close as your backyard. From raising poultry for eggs, compost turning, or homestead goats for milk or meat to taking a self-reliant lifestyle choice you will find loads of ideas here!
