2. Our goal was to be self-reliant,
being able to produce a big portion
of our own vegetables, meat, eggs,
honey, and milk. My homestead is
low maintenance and maintained
by our whole family, integrating
farm work in the daily lives of our
children is extremely important to
us. We’ve created systems to use
everything on our homestead to its
fullest potential to maximise yields
in every aspect.
3. Brainstorming process
I wanted to start out with a
manageable goal, Something i new i
could reach in the next year or two. I
started with the things I already had
,and added a few extra things that i
knew i could add without getting in
over my head.
4. Farmed Animals Food Production Resources
Chickens Herb Garden Greenhouse
Pigs Chickens (Eggs & Meat) Small Barn
Bees Fruit Trees Collected Rain Water
Rabbits Vegetable Garden Compost
Goats Goats (Meat & Milk)
Brainstorming cards
5. Design plan
I want to be able to use the land I have to
the fullest, and plan to add a greenhouse
and another barn. Also i want to have
multiple gardens for my vegetables, fruits
and herbs.

small garage that
we turned into a
barn for some of our
animals.

our goat pen, and to
