Do you know how to grow your own food? I started a hobby farm five years ago, raise grass fed animals mostly for myself and sell a few to cover cost/make small profit Im working with 160 acres but many people i swap information with are running profitable businesses with 2-5 acre lots. Even if you're in a city you can make a decent permaculture garden in your backyard, most cities also allow chickens in small numbers. Its a first step into being free, eating garden/pasture to plate is the most energetic feeling you're body will experience if you've been eating modern foods.
People are discounting from where their foods comes from. Even if you dont plan on becoming a farmer or hunter go watch someone butcher an animal. Try some organs, eat your veggies and stop eating packaged over priced shit quality foods.
This is what Im going to do as soon as i have enough to buy some land

Climate is an issue here in new Hampshire, I can only reliably grow peasant teir foods in large quantities (taters, cabbage, rhubarb, blue berries, apples, and beans). My true botanical passion are super hots and carnivorous plants.

Also the lack of a stable citrus plant for our zone kills me
>try some organs I've seen a pot of cooked chicken hearts some polish guy posted. It looked appetizing. What's your favorite organ from a chicken?

Absolutely want to try it, I already bake my own bread from superduper organic flour so I know that the shit in the supermarket is actualy barely edible.
However, I'm really bad with plants and manage to kill them all. Scotland isn't easy to grow shit in either. What veggies can I try that won't die too quickly on me?

Asparagus but it takes a few years to get going but will yield like crazy once it establishes.

user i love my garden and growing my own food. I have 4 raised beds this year, and a second section with fruit trees and the three sisters (squash, corn, and beans). Also just planted 6 nut trees; two pecan and four black walnut.
Also just got chickens this year, and will put them in the chicken coop today. Also going to put down a raccoon trap so that i can catch the fuckers and shot their brains out before they get my poor lil chickies.

Which state? Assuming USA, you might have to worry about bears
GrowingYourGreens is a good show on youtube that puts out great info for beginers

mizuna is a japanese green, like a mustard. real easy to grow. Also garlic i suppose. Garlic is easy as fuck to grow. I didn't even water all winter, and we got no moisture at all and all of it came up in spring and is almost ready to harvest. SHouldn't be so soon but the extreme heat has brought the harvest early.
Also, be aware of the grand solar minimum and the upcoming global changes. You will need to start working on your green thumb, user.
Matthew Nelson
Yeah I know, that and supposedly we better stockpile medicine and food for when the Brexit happens.
If at all.

here's a free tip user, while you are turning your soil where you cultivate your veggies, let your chicken loose onthere, they will eat bugs and they absolutly love those thick white/yellow beatle magots* it's bounding with your chickens and they clean out while menuring your turned plantingsoil. when having potatoes, let your chickens on that land from time to time to pick out bugs and stuff before you think of spraying insecticides, try to ban insecticide al togheter by doing some research on solitary bees, wasps and so on, try to atrackt meat eating birds by doing some research on their nesting habbits and nesting places, this you can do with your neighbours and children, which is also bounding
*we call them roughly translated in english: blackheads because they have a black head

Nah, no bears here in Kansas. Just filthy coons and coyotes. But that is why i got my guns. Also armadillos but they only dig up the yard in search of grubs, and i kill them still.
I have a couple great looking zucchinin and squash plants this year. Also a big max pumpkin that is looking fuckin great. Damn i love gardening.
Oh i also grow sorghum and buckwheat, even tho it is too hot here for buckwheat. You can prolly grow that in the shire tho.

Need more edits my doodes
Joshua Brown
oh yeah, stockpile and stockpile some more. I am still young so my family doesn't have much. But we are working on it. I just bought a book called Gene Logsdon's Practical Skills: A revival of forgotten crafts.etc etc. It has so much fucking info in it. It will get a lot of use in the coming years i am sure.
Ryder Reyes
Yeah we got coyotes and wolves too, no armadillos though. Sounds like you're on the right track, I wish you luck. I got a venus fly trap recently and am trying to do it well but I worry about it up here.
