Plant whatever you're going to eat. I recommend oats and wheat if you get the space. I love having a sickle in the house. Great conversation starter, and gets rid of pesky salesman as well.
Here's a book recommendation for you:http://www.amazon.com/Self-sufficient-Life-How-Live/dp/0789493322/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255627396&sr=8-2
John Seymour shows you exactly how to parcel out your space. It's the bible of homesteading.
There's an excellent book called The Self Sufficient Life and How to Live it that has a great deal of advice on this topic. It covers 5 acre farms down to small apartment gardens and how to grow what you like to eat. There's a wealth of info in that book on SO many things, I can't recommend it enough!
I really like The Self-sufficient Life and How to Live It when it comes to dreaming about homesteading. It touches on everything, from carpentry to threshing wheat to birthing animals. It is WAY more than I will ever actually do, but I love flipping through it and imagining. You can find good used copies for pretty cheap.
You know, the people that will blindly believe the rhetoric they hear from political propaganda outlets are the same that willingly commit genocide.
I prefer literature such as this. My ideal life is a hard earned, satisfying life enjoyed with my family.
ohh haha I gotcha. I'm not good with dog breeds, but I fucking love dogs, I've just never had one. We'll definitely have dogs. This is all I've been thinking about for a couple weeks too. I know there's a bunch of chill people who'd be willing to join us and build this community, but I don't have many friends willing to do it, but fuck it. I'd rather start fresh with strangers from all over the country anyway.
I got this book out of the library to get a sense of what the life would be like. I'll be getting more books on the subject when I return this one. Any suggestions? We'll definitely have a library btw. And almost like a school. Group readings and discussions.
I'm thinking about doing WWOOF to get my hands dirty and understand what I'm doing. I've never worked on a farm before.
