The homesteading knowledge we share freely here exists because others shared before us. Real guides, real costs, real failures — documented in full.
Everything about keeping goats, cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks, guinea hens, rabbits, quail, and livestock guardian dogs on small to medium acreage. Rotational grazing, species integration, pasture management, and predator protection.
Full-depth coverage of aquaponic system design — from media beds and grow troughs to trout-style raceways and natural pond management. Species selection, water chemistry, system cycling, harvesting, and seasonal management.
Exotic variety selection, no-till soil building, companion planting, integrated pest management using livestock, canning and preserving, and harvest storage in a walk-in cold room. Growing food that surprises people.
Natural pools with DIY filtration, walk-in cold storage and dry-aging rooms, outdoor kitchens and firepits, equipment barns, butcher stations, and on-site sawmill operation. Real build logs with real costs.
We didn't figure any of this out alone. Decades of writing from homesteaders before us, YouTube channels from farmers willing to document their real experience, forums full of hard-won knowledge — all of it is why we were able to build what we're building.
So we document everything. The things that worked brilliantly. The things that failed expensively. The costs we didn't expect. The easier ways we found after doing it the hard way first.
Species selection, system sizing, cycling, water chemistry, and first harvest. The complete beginner guide.
Managing multiple species on 4 acres of open pasture — paddock design, forage reading, and livestock guardian dogs.
Three temperature zones, dry-aging setup, canning storage, and full cost breakdown of our earth-contact cold room.
