I appreciate your post and look forward to reading more plus learning and gardening tips you may have. What part of the country do you live in? We currently raise a large portion of our food all of our own meat plus large gardens and fruit(80%) for a family of 7.
Thanks! I’m from Michigan, moved from NY about 7 years ago. My family is a bit smaller at 4, we do mostly intensive vegetable gardening, and I am working on establishing orchards and perennial food systems. But plants are expensive, so I’ve been doing small plantings to eventually propagate and expand. I gave you a follow, I’m looking to connect with all the steemian homesteaders, farmers, and gardeners I can.
