All of t...
“When most people think of raising homestead livestock, they invariably think that they must have chickens and a cow. But truth be told, when it comes to raising livestock, there are a lot of reasons to avoid raising chickens altogether, and almost every reason not to own a cow. The Secret Livestock of Survival, will show you how to grow your own s...
I have always been a Boy Scout and been always prepared. I grew up in New Hampshire, so I grew up with that New England Puritan work ethic where you are expected to take care of yourself. Growing up in New Hampshire, you learned to cook and heat with wood, because you could lose power for a week at a time in the winter due to snow and ice storms. A...
Stop being a consumer and start being a producer. Do something, grow something, raise something! Try something. Try DOING. Don’t just stock pile and buy food storage like so many preppers do.

After my Secret Garden of Survival book about my sustainable perennial food forest and my Secret Greenhouse of Survivalbook about my insulated sustainable attached greenhouse, protein production was the third leg of my food stool. Having sustainable sources of protein makes the whole sustainable/symbiotic homesteading food production come full circ...
We have Nigerian Dwarf Diary goats — not meat goats. They produce 1.5 gallons of milk per day from three small girls. They take little space, consume little food, and produce a lot of milk. And like my garden, greenhouse and my other livestock, they are discrete. They can hide in plain sight. Raising meat is best left for rabbits. I also raise meat...
Secret Livestock of Survival was released four years after my Secret Garden of Survivalbook. I had a lot more to share, and lots of tips and tricks that I would not have known without a lot of mistakes. In fact, it was hard to keep the livestock book short, because I had so much to tell. My livestock book is my best book yet. I have included not on...
