How to Plan a Sustenance Garden
Jordan Tony
Mar 27, 2023
For the past seven years, my wife Silvan and I have been working towards producing as much of our own food as possible. Each fall, we begin a “Living off the Land” challenge where we see how long we can comfortably and healthily go, eating only food that we grew in our gardens or foraged and hunted...

How to Bake with Animal Fats
Wade Truong
Mar 24, 2023
Cooking with animal fat seems to be all the rage right now, which is funny because humans have been using animal fats for far longer than they’ve been using vegetable oils. Up until relatively recently in human history, a lot of dishes would have been made using fat rendered from animals. The rise...

How to Make Garden Fertilizer Out of Bones
Silvan Goddin
Mar 20, 2023
After a successful hunt in my household, we like to challenge ourselves to use as much of the animal as possible. Not only is this a great way to honor the animal that is providing us with sustenance, it’s also very satisfying to learn about all of the useful materials that can be derived from game...

The Importance of Crop Rotation
Jordan Tony
Mar 15, 2023
Crop rotation is the process of shifting which crops are grown in which beds in your garden from year to year. This process has been used for thousands of years to promote soil health and improve crop yields. The ancient Romans and Mayans used crop rotations to support their civilizations without...

Cuban-Inspired Hog Leg with Mojo Sauce
Danielle Prewett
Mar 13, 2023
As we transition from winter to spring, I’ve been craving slow-cooked meat that would shred apart easily with a fork, without having to braise it in another wintery stew or smoke it on the BBQ pit. Inspired by Cuban roasted pork, I came up with this easy method for cooking a wild hog leg in the oven...

How to Transform Tallow into a Soothing Skin Salve
Silvan Goddin
Mar 10, 2023
Spending time outdoors, whether it’s sitting in a tree stand or working in the garden, is a big source of joy in my life. But what’s less joyful is the impact being outside in all conditions has on my skin, where the rain, wind, and cold often leave my hands chapped and cracking. Making skin salve...

How to Give Your Chicken Coop a Spring Cleaning
Mike Fitzgerald
Mar 6, 2023
It’s been a particularly strange winter here in our zone, with fluctuating temperatures that touched new records, some of the wildest wind storms I’ve ever personally experienced, and a mixed flock of ducks and chickens that didn’t quite know what to make of it all. Those wind storms were reason...

White Turkey Chili
Jenny Nguyen-Wheatley
Mar 1, 2023
Classic chili is at its most satisfying in December and January, but when the weather starts warming up, try white chili to mix things up a bit. Made with turkey (or substitute any gamebird or poultry), white beans, green chilies, and cilantro, white chili is a lighter and more vibrant dish. And the...

Seed Sourcing 101
Jordan Tony
Feb 27, 2023
Many gardeners have a springtime tradition of taking a trip to the garden center and coming home with a car or truck full of little veggie seedlings. I also enjoy perusing the aisles at my local big box garden center, but there are some downsides to sourcing your plants this way. The corporate...

Sausage, Kale, and Bean Soup
Jenny Nguyen-Wheatley
Feb 23, 2023
This soup has everything that you would want in a cold-weather pick-me-up. Combine a healthy dose of protein-rich, creamy cannellini beans, fresh veggies, and just enough sausage meat to add fat, depth, and flavor, and you end up with a simple yet soul-satisfying meal. This is one of those rustic...

A Beginner's Guide to Meat Rabbits
Mike Fitzgerald
Feb 21, 2023
Like most homesteaders, I want to be as self-sufficient as humanly possible. That includes raising as much of my protein as I can, but did you know there’s a way that you can raise great quality meat right in your backyard, practically anywhere in North America? It’s true, and that miracle animal...
