"If we work hard, we sleep well."
Twenty years ago, when authors Shawn and Beth Dougherty purchased the land they would come to name the Sow's Ear, the state of Ohio designated it "not suitable for agriculture." Today, their family raises and grows 90% of their own food.
Such self-sufficiency is largely the result of basing their farming practices around intensive pasture management. Pioneered by such luminaries as Allan Savory, Greg Judy, and Joel Salatin, the tenets of holistic grazing--employed mostly by larger-scale commercial operations--have been adapted by the Doughertys to fit their family's needs. In The Independent Farmstead, The Sow's Ear model for regenerating the land and growing food--"the best you ever tasted"--is elucidated for others to use and build upon.
In witty and welcoming style, The Independent Farmstead covers everything from choosing a species of ruminant and incorporating it into a grass-based system to innovative electric fencing and watering systems, to what to do with all of the milk, meat, and, yes, manure that the self-sustaining farm produces. Within these pages, the Doughertys discuss how to:
Find and improve poor, waste, or abused land and develop its natural water resources;
Select and purchase the appropriate ruminant for regenerating your farmstead;
Apply fencing strategies and pasture management basics;
Implement basic, uncomplicated food processing, including large and small animal butchering and cheese making; and
Integrate grass, gardens, and livestock to minimize or eliminate the need for off-farm inputs.
As the Doughertys write, more and more people today are feeling "the desire for clean, affordable food, unmodified, unprocessed, and unmedicated and the security of local food sourcing for ourselves and our children." The Independent Farmstead is a must-have resource for those who count themselves as part of this movement: both new and prospective farmers and homesteaders, and those who are interested in switching to grass-based systems. Best of all it's the kind of rare how-to book that the authors themselves view not as a compendium of one-size-fits-all instructions but as "the beginning of a conversation," one that is utterly informative, sincere, and inspiring.

Описание: Frustrated with the political correctness required to gain his PhD, Cameron Stewart, a Vietnam veteran, allies himself with a brilliant NIH researcher to test his theories.In the laboratory they create a drug enabling rats to access knowledge inherited from their parents, and treat their only child with the compound they developed. The result is Sophia, fully equipped at birth with the knowledge and language capabilities of her parents and forefathers at the time she was conceived.Sophia rises in the CIA to brilliantly shape policy, all the while building a family of seven boys similarly gifted to carry on her legacy. The Stewarts and their allies are all Amulots, American-Ulster-Scots. They build the world's largest corporation, but desire to restore America to the greatness achieved by their ancestors. Half of the states nullify the Federal Government, and civil war ensues. It is a war of a few giants against many deluded Lilliputians led by those who would enslave the world, and a battle of knowledge against ignorance.
