It’s a lot of work but these are good tips.

This is awesome. I’m new to gardening. 3 years in with the first 2 being in a residential area using food grade buckets to plant vegetables to no real success. Moved onto 1.5 acres this past Feb and, for the first time, have planted in raised beds. Most successful year yet, and I’ve had so much fun learning new things, like blossom end rot🤦♂️. We’re planning on expanding our garden greatly next year and doing some in ground garden beds. This video just opened up my eyes as to how big and efficient a garden can be for sustainability.

Anyone have tips on curing/storing veggies in a basement that two house cats have access to?

Now ask her the capital cost of starting this operation (land + buildings/improvements + tools/appliances).

It’s not the growing – It’s the processing, and she’s got it figured out.

Storage envy. All the places that big I might want to store my stuff I’m pretty sure rodents would break in and mess it all up rapidly; maybe someday I’ll be able to build a rodent-proof (shed? root cellar? IDK what is that room?)

Thanks for sharing! Very inspirational. I would love to have a small homestead one day! Keep sharing the great content

This is my approach to my food growing too! I grow three kinds of beans, green peas, potatoes, onion, Jerusalem artichoke and carrots. The beans and peas I let dry, the onion I store in a dark place in the house after having had them dry hanging and forming a good shell, the Jerusalem artichoke I leave in the ground but put a thick layer of hay on top and harvest as I need it in all bit the coldest months. And the potatoes I keep in a cold cellar and the same with the carrots but I keep those in sand in plastic containers (reuse the same sand every year). I live up in Scandinavia so if anyone have any advice of easy grown and easy stored crops that can be grown up here I’d love to hear about!

This is my first year growing all of our food on the homestead the burn out is REAL.
Having more people probably helps with work load.
There’s days I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore because I have 10 things going at once. Ive definitely limited my diet more, but just the process alone can be very demanding some days.

What’s the process for a cold storage room like that? I’ve never seen her before, does she have an instructional for the storage room she uses because that’s my biggest obstacle is staging harvests to limit waste

Everyone should have a garden!
Grow what you eat; eat what you grow!
