Summary: Marjory Wildcraft, of backyardfoodproduction.com joins us this week to discuss her story, and share some of her extensive knowledge on such topics as: Gardening: * How much room do I need to feed my family? * How to best involve toddlers and let them grow into various duties. * Suggested tasks for the little ones. Livestock: * Introducing kids to respectful death, and compassionate husbandry. * How much responsibility to give kids for feeding, etc.. When do I involve the kids in the processing, if at all? Building a closed loop system gradually over time. Order of projects: what might make sense to start with, what challenges you are currently facing. For folks who can't move yet, but want to start food production and homesteading now, what would be good things to start with?
