Flat Foot Farm- fun, family, freedom and homestead farming in Alaska... the Last Frontier

in #anarchy8 years ago

I'm so excited to be here on Steemit now! Blogging is a new experience for me but I'm hoping to pass on useful information for you, the reader, to start your own homestead farming experience.

Who can do this? Anyone. There's so much about it I'm sure there's something you'll find to interest you.

In the way of introduction to my particular philosophy, I want to make one thing clear and that's that there is no adversarial attitude toward scientific and commercial farming here:

We recognize commercial farming is absolutely necessary to supporting the 7.12 billion people who live on this planet and there is much to learn from the folks who farm commercially... but there's a certain edge to the smaller scale of the homestead.

The main difference between farming and homesteading isn't only scale- it's the objective. Now there can be a very nice profit in homesteading. Selling stock, homemade products, tours, and produce are just some of the avenues.

You and your family are going to love the time you spend together doing this. From the smallest window box herb garden to the fifty head cattle herd, homesteading can bring you and yours closer together as it brings you closer to your food.


The objective of the homesteader may be raising their stock humanly, growing with permaculture or sustainability in mind, providing their family with food of the highest quality, running a small business from home, using their land to provide cash flow, or a myriad of other reasons. You have the freedom to determine what your "why" is. I'd love to hear your "why" in the comments section and what you're interested in.

Follow us on Facebook @FlatFootFarmandEnterprise to see what we are up to.

The most important objective is to have fun! Sure, there's work involved but this will be fun if your doing what interests you and the rewards are awesome.

Bottom line is:
It's your life. It's your land. Let's make something of it.
