RE: URBAN SURVIVAL SERIES - INTRODUCTION
At the time of the '60s, there was a "Small is beautiful" movement. My wife and I have developed self-sufficiency: garden, hens and goats. We had the vegetables, the eggs and the milk. The goat is like a dog with horns.
With some goats, we made yoghurt, cheese. We sold goat cheese in the area.
Then we developed the concept of "country restaurant" where the townspeople came to eat "homestay", the farm products.
Wow. We are in the stages of being self-sufficient ourselves. Gotta be far from the city/downtown. Working on garden first, then fencing so we can have chickens. It is so expensive to have organic free range chicken and eggs. Eventually, we'll be at the cheese making stage. That'd be awesome! Wow again, goat cheese?
For meat, you can add rabbits, ducks, turkeys and maybe some pigs . With 2-3 goats, you will have milk, yogurt and fresh and aged cheese all year round.
And if you want to have fish, here's an alternative.

We already have rabbits, ducks, chickens, and pigs! Aquaponics is on the list!
used hydroponics with fish in the center of the cycle. I believe Koi are the fish, but check it out, I am working from an old time memory.
Cool, thanks @len.george!
Is it complicated to make cheese? What kind of cheese can you make?
It's like yoghurt. You can make soft pasta or fresh cheese, ripened pasta or firm pasta like cheddars. In short, the same varieties as cow's cheese.
Very cool stuff! And very cool to see your reputation jump from 25 to 31 when I Upvoted it!
Thanks. I'm new from an hour!
Looking forward to posts from you too!
