Rabbits are dumb! 2227L. Woa! Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? A lot of meat is not humanely raised or grown nor is it humanely end. We live in farm country...
Oh, we're starting to look positively like farmers to most people we know. We have a long way to go.
We are trying to become more able to be self sufficient. Not completely, there's no way we'd be able to grow sugar cane here, and not enough sugar maple trees or birch to make syrup and sugar, no citrus, or coffee, or most spices, and we don't have all the land needed to grow our grain for the year, among other restrictions. However, as much as we can grow, raise, make, we want to do it. Or at least know how. We also want to know how to do things in a non-electronic or gas-powered way. Not necessarily because we'd eschew those activities, but it sure helps if you know what to do when the power is gone.
Rabbits are dumb! 2226Ranee Mueller We try to grow as much as possible for eating fresh, filling the freezers, and stocking the canning shelf. Your right though, there are limitations to what you can grow based on location...
Our house was built around 1950 and has electric heat, but it also has two fireplaces (one up and one down) and a secondary wood burning furnace. That, and the amount of land we are allowed to play with is part of what spurred us on to learning to do without electricity or gas or whatever and trying to use what we could grow-make.
Anyway, you are hereby invited to become a neighbor. :) Also, if you haven't read it yet, a book you might find interesting is Better Off. We found it fascinating.
Regards, Ranee
