Today we are discussion raising geese and our American Buff Goose Flock. We figured it was worth sharing some thoughts on building a flock of geese or other poultry from our perspective of raising poultry for over a decade. Hopefully you find this video on raising geese interesting or at least some food for thought related to the topic of building a goose flock or flock of other poultry such as chickens or ducks. Thanks so much for watching!

Backyard Greenhouse Build Part 6 | The Old Window Greenhouse Is Finished Growing spaces are important now more than ever. And we finally have one of our growing spaces finished! Its been some time but we have completed the old window greenhouse and now can use it for at least three season growing (will be a good season extender!). A backyard greenhouse is something anyone who has the space should consider and this is just one way to build one but has worked well for us using mostly recycled materials! Thanks so much for watching!

Episode 395 Farm Ponderings: An Example self-sufficient vs sustainable It's really difficult to be truly self-sufficient but moving to be more sustainable is a bit more achivable for most of us. Though this is not a perfect example hopfully it will help explain the difference between beeing self-sufficient and sustainable as it pertains to a homestead level (i.e. producing your own food). Hopefully you find this interesting or at the very least enjoy watching the guppies! Thanks so much for watching!
