Quote: With careful management and improvements to the soils you can grow an amazing amount on 1.5 acres. I wish I could find th Utube video of the family that runs a "farm" off their less than acre plot. Many integrated levels, like chickens eat the old produce and the eggs are sold and poo goes back in to the gardens.
Quote: THAT is a recipe worth trying too. We had duck the other night and as it was the first duck I have had in about 20 years, I roasted it plain to get the full flavors of the all natural meat. Lot of breast meat on that young duck.
Love Penzy's. THe catalog ( 20 yrs ago) was amazing. Difficult to narrow down the choices.exactly... well if you think about it.. Food and Drug Administration. Should be separate entities.
I may try it. I have cooked with wine and a few others before. I am an herb connoisseur myself. I have a collection of almost anything and buy herbs in bulk . They also have medicinal properties which I use them for in teas.
good places are
www.sfherb.com
www.starwestbotanicles.com (might be spelt wrong)
Azure Standard
Penzy's
I totally agree-- easy to start with a few simple ones. Like chives and sorrel. ANd the mints are usually hard to kill. Start small . . . .I'm an herbalist (among many other things), and think that every home should have a small area set aside for medicinal herbs. They don't take up much room, and it can be as simple as planting a flowerbed with them. The only cost is a few seeds, and you might even be able to get them for free if you know someone else who grows them.

WOW!! Just the fact you kept up with all that without getting confused blows my mind. You are indeed a forum magician.
I feel the exact same way. SO many wonderful things are being lost in a throw away society. Everything is so simple. I wish there was more value in apprenticing to learn the arts of a master but now that doesn't matter you have to go broke paying student loans for college to have a generic education with a lack of experience and skill.You're welcome. I think it's a great thing what you're doing by spreading knowledge of almost lost arts.
I'm an old soul in a way and regret seeing things that were going on in every house on the block a half a century ago falling by the wayside and now you ask a kid about raising animals for meat and such and you get this look of horror that a person would even think of doing something like that. Meanwhile they munch down their big mac and go on like it fell from heaven like manna and don't even stop to think that what is on that big mac was at one point a living breathing animal that someone raised, probably from birth, and sent off to the slaughter to feed their country. Kids these days just think raising anything but kane or a hamster is "old fashioned".
Ok I think I'm done with my rant for today. Just gets on my nerves that everyone thinks we're the crazy ones.

Well I butcher my chickens and hope to one day have more room for milk and beef, sustainable gardening, my kids will learn these skills... and my 8 year old has lopped a chickens head off and helped pluck.
Yeah they just don't understand, but more are finding what I do 'cool' and wishing they could do it too. And I find the hoomeschool network many of us moms are DIY'ers. And IMO oldfashioned is better than the naive emptiness our society is turning to.
