"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: Progressives have Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals, and now ordinary Americans have Starve The Beast STB tells American citizens how to defeat progressive propaganda, tactics, and initiatives. It builds on the successful strategy pursued by the first Congress, and shows how to rein-in a run-away government, one that no longer follows the Constitution and therefore possesses no legitimacy. If you want to learn how to re-make the United States into the land of liberty, restore the principles of American exceptionalism, and save the country from collapse, this book NOT ONLY PROVIDES INSPIRATION, BUT OUTLINES STRATEGIES AND REAL WORLD TACTICS.Needed like no other book since Thomas Paine's Common Sense, STB will generate controversy on every page. American citizens have learned that no president, the Congress, or the Supreme Court will save the country, regardless of which political party is in power. It is up to the citizenry.Starve The Beast is not for the moneyed and well-connected elites from selected universities currently running the federal government. It is for the people so they can reclaim government by the people, of the people and for the people.
