Jaimie Cooks, I Dig SWEET POTATOES and The CHICKENS EAT CORN!

This is HOMESTEAD LIVING!
Getting out with your kids in the garden, My beautiful wife inside making a delicious dinner and our chickens pecking away at whatever free food they can find in the yard!

This is just a typical day living on our off grid homestead. During the summer months we are busy harvesting and saving food for the winter. Like the ant, you work during the good weather of summer and save your food for the coming winter when the weather will be harsh and this is very little food growing. Tubers, dried corn, squash and other things will keep well during this cold time and give us plenty of food to eat. Sure, we can go to the store if we want to buy food but we prefer our homegrown food that came free from the earth.

Well, it wasn't exactly free. We had to work for it. But there is nothing so satisfying as cooking and eating the food you have sowed and harvested yourself. Few people today have experienced that kind of freedom.
