RE: Feed Production on the Synchronistic Subsistence Homestead
This is a great post on animal feeds. We try to raise as much as we can, we are but a small homestead. We buy local grains from farmers who hold the same values as we do. We don't want feed loaded with chemicals that are used in large operations. We don't buy concentrate for our animals either. Too many chemicals. I wouldn't those things in my body so why give them to the animals?
Yes, being small, can be difficult. I highly recommend reading some things by John Seymour. Especially, " The Complete Book of Self-sufficiency. He has a great image, and description of how to lay out a homestead for one acre. It sounds like you are doing great though. Sincerely wish I had more like minded people near by.
We do our best, but sometimes it is a challenge. Thanks for the tip. I will see if I get that book here. Our aim is to be totally self-sufficient including power. We have a ways to go yet...
