Nice articles. I like homesteading way of life. My wife and I are trying to build a house on our 1.25 acre parcel. The city has a shortage of water so they aren't allowing us to dig a hole yet. So are homestead is on small scale now. 15 chickens, 7 Beehives and a Decent garden plot on our 1/3rd acre lot. We have 8 dwarf Nigerian goats out on our property to help keep it clean. I have milked my Doe's and made some cheese. I don't care much for the goat milk.
