This is great and I really support the underlying ideas. I totally understand the efficiency of rabbits, but as a "bunny lover" (my wife and I have 8 from rescues) that’s something I couldn’t do. I don’t have a problem with others doing it of course as long as they are caring for the animals.
@Jayho74 you learn now, via DVD, so that you learn and exercise the skills today that you will remember when you need them.
Video is the fastest way to transmit information. Make the best use of what you got right now. You have access to a tremendous amount of resources which will disappear or become more difficult to come by. Please do also acquire a library of books. and, learn everything you can while it is available.
I don’t want to sound harsh, but getting used to the idea of eating rabbits is quite small compared to the changes we are facing.
I am guessing you probably won’t be interested in our upcoming DVD on how to eat insects! LOL. they are a great source of protein and fat.
Good luck whatever you do.
bleagh…. eating rabbits?! yikes. Chickens Im ok with farming.. but rabbits?
Also any advice for someone who lives inside the city limits?
The main area we grow and live in is about 2 acres. And believe me, 2 acres will wear you out! The heart of the food production is in the garden/rabbit complex which is only about 1500 sq.ft. total (750 sq.ft. of garden bed space). We have another 20 or so acres cross fenced for mini diary cattle. There is other forested acreage in the back which is kept ‘wild’ and we only go there to harvest firewood and for spiritual regeneration.
nice
Hi. How big is your farm?
Excellent question which really gets to the heart of it all. Beef and rabbit meat are the biggest sources of calories. Then potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes, beets, and onions. Potatoes cannot really be grown sustainably here in central Texas, but we buy the seed potatoes to make slips which are shipped in, because we love potatoes.
Yes we do buy – mostly from a local farmers market, and a bit from the grocery store. The kids and husband love cereal, pasta, and bread. Grains are much more work than I am willing to put in, so we buy those. I am also a total chocolate fan – which has me thinking about relocating to S. America where it can be grown sustainably! LOL.
do you buy any food ?
What is your major calorie crop ?
Yes, we use permaculture principles. Actually we draw from any source that works- permaculture, indigenous teachings, organic gardening, relief work in developing countries, county extension offices, and just crazy stuff we thought up. the mian point is to find ways to grow healthy food with as little work and inputs as possible.
nice one! do y’all use permaculture principles in your gardening work?
