FAQs
Why Should I Grow My Own Food?
The modern food system has let us down. Food grown thousands of miles away, washed in chlorine and doused with chemicals, sprout inhibitors and ripening gasses rule the shelves… And you have no choice. Take control of your diet, feed your family or your neighborhood or even an entire region food the way it was meant to be. Local, fresh, healthy and without chemicals.
Plus there’s nothing more fun than sitting down to eat and seeing food you grew from day one on your plate!
How long does it take to get going?
We started with an 8 foot by 4 foot garden bed and a basil plant in the kitchen window and in 5 years we are producing hundreds of chickens, thousands of eggs and plenty of pork for our customers.
In short - you can be up and running in a month, or you can take more time and enjoy the process - the beauty of homesteading and farmsteading is that it’s all up to you!
How Do I Get Started?
This is where we come in. We’ll work with you to provide the foundation you will need to successfully achieve your goals without the learning curve. We’ve developed the repeatable infrastructure and a wealth of knowledge we can pass on to you through based on countless hours of research and years of trial and error. Skip the expensive fails, we’ve already done them. We’ll get you started years ahead of today.
What should we grow if we want to get into consumer sales?
Grow what interests you, grow what makes you excited. Something that makes you 500% profit but doesn’t excite you in the morning when chores are calling will turn your dream homestead into a job you no longer want to pursue…
As an example, we love pigs, we love chickens and we love garden produce… They make me get out of bed in the morning! I really wanted to love cows but it just didn’t stir the fire in my soul like I thought it would. Every farmer is different - don’t be afraid to try it all but focus on what makes you tick!
Is It Expensive?
Our guess is, if you’re here, you’re starting a search of better food, or are already well underway. And that means you probably know the costs associated with buying organic and local foods grown with values consistent to your own. However, think of it this way: Skip all of the costly mistakes, lost seasons, and errors others have made before you by letting us help get you started. You’ll save money with a head start and save money by growing the best food you’ve ever had right on your own piece of land!
Why use Permaculture principles on my Homestead?
Permaculture is the idea that we can harness nature’s existing systems and environments on a small scale to create the happiest healthiest food anywhere in the world. Pasture raised free range chickens, forest raised and acorn finished pork, no till gardens beds with fresh compost from our own animals - we’re able to create our own self reliant ecosystem leading to an ABUNDANCE of healthy animals and healthy food.
Let chickens be chickens, let pigs be pigs, let animals express themselves and they’ll be healthy and happy everyday.
