In this video I’m sharing the 9 new regenerative enterprises I’m bringing onto my small farm this year. These ideas or pretty easy and cheap and almost anyone can implement at least one of them.

ABOUT THE HIGH MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD
Hi! I’m PJ, and my family loves the homesteading life! It’s something my wife and I have always wanted to do, but we grew up with ZERO HOMESTEADING EXPERIENCE!!!!!
We grew up in beautiful southern California, 15 minutes away from the beach. As amazing as that was, we both dreamed of a life closer to land and animals. After getting married and moving to Utah, our family slowly grew. We had become a family of four living in a townhome with a small backyard filled with potted plants.
In 2019 we dipped out feet into homesteading on 1 ¼ acre lot in Utah. In 18 months we were ready to do this for real. So in 2021 we packed everything up (including our sheep) and moved to North Carolina to 12 acres and we love every inch of our homestead!
We raise Dorper sheep and have big plans for:
• grass-fed lamb
• fullblood Dorper breeding stock
• meat chickens
• laying chickens and ducks
• heritage breed pork
• honey
• row crops
• perennial food forest
• and more
I hope you join us on our journey, subscribe and ring the bell if you haven’t yet.

Excellent! Can't wait to see the homestead evolve!
So glad you are putting this information out. You were part of my inspiration to go from reading Joel Salatin in Germany, to moving back to the US, and getting sheep, and starting Youtube with my kids. I was so set on getting Dorper, until I got here in the Appalachian Mountains (Southern VA), and saw all my neighbors had Katahdin sheep. So that is what we have now. In fact we are just getting a lambing pen ready….exciting stuff. And our youtube channel just hit 2k subscribers! Thanks for putting out these videos!
I'd love to see a video on those raised beds!
I started following you because of the Dorper sheep you had. Now that your YouTube videos aren’t focused on sheep, they aren’t as interesting as it used to be. Hopefully you don’t take this comment the wrong way.
hey PJ, great ideas! this is the time of the year where i always wander the yard thinking and dreaming. steers are a decent idea but i think you'd do better return wise with your dorpers. they look great.
ever think seriously about kune kunes? for our little farm we're bound to add them in the next few years. i love my big pigs but the ease and how well they do on pasture, they are very tempting to jump into 🙂
