Intercropping Staple Crops in a Vineyard! Does it Work?

Last season a major goal of mine was to plant more staple crops for food. In past years, I’ve intercropped vegetables in my vineyard, but this time I decided to try dry beans, since they are a great staple, they’re easy to grow in large amounts, and they can be low growing, which is important to maintaining good air flow in the vineyard. Some of my upcoming videos are going to be showing you how this experiment went in the vineyard.

Homesteading in a Tiny House | More Produce in Less Space

One of the big challenges to living in a tiny house and wanting to homestead is the limited storage space for your produce. You have to move your harvest through your tiny space and find room for it during peak harvest times. This usually means your home is a constant staging area for processing your harvest. My home is no different.

How Close Am I to 100% Food Self-Sufficiency?

My goal has always been to grow as much of my food as possible and make as much of my food from scratch using simple ingredients. Not only is this more sustainable, but I know exactly where my food comes from and what went into producing it. In this video, I give an overview of what portion of my food I’m able to produce myself and what I have to buy from the wider economy. I can’t say I know exactly what percentage of my food I grow, but it’s a lot, and I try to increase the percentage with every new season. #FoodSelfSufficiency #LocalFood #SustainableLiving #SelfSufficiency

I Hated the 9-5 RAT RACE | Now I Homestead

Many years ago I left the city life and the rat race to homestead in an ecovillage in rural Missouri. Now I set my own schedule as a digital homesteader, working part time to make ends meet while I grow as much of my own food as possible.

In so many homesteading videos they seem to talk about their gardens and give you a tour, but rarely do they seem to show you what they’re actually harvesting and eating. Many will also exaggerate the amount of food they’re growing for themselves. I don’t do that. I’ll show you what I harvest and I’ll be realistic about the limits of what I can produce for myself.

I always hope my videos will give inspiration to some to ditch the 9-5 and live a simpler life off the land. And don’t forget to cooperate with your neighbors because it’s impossible to go it alone.

Radical Self-Sufficiency | Living Off Our Land

This video is all about self sufficiency. I get so much food coming in from my garden that I have to have ways to preserve it. There’s canning, there’s fermentation, there’s turning one form of food into another, and I do it all in this video. From making cheese from raw organic local milk to canning tomatoes, to making sauerkraut, it’s all here in a typical day in my life living hardcore sustainable in an ecovillage.
