You Don’t Need a Farm. I’ve Never Had One.

You Don’t Need a Farm. I’ve Never Had One. You look at your yard — a tenth of an acre, a corner behind the house, a few raised beds — and somewhere a voice tells you it doesn't count. Every homestead plan you find online is drawn for an acre by someone who has one, or someone selling you the idea that you need one. This video breaks down what a small place actually produces, counted out. The Small Place Book gives you a complete plan for a tenth, a quarter, and a half acre — what each one carries and what the year looks like month by month. Link below. What's covered: - What four hens actually cost per week at feed prices and what they return in eggs - How a garden the size of two parking spaces produced forty-two jars of sauce and pickles - How a pantry shelf in a hallway closet stocked ninety-two containers and what that saved - The simple stocking-density math that works for a corner, not an acre - Why your first year will probably show a net loss and why that's normal - The poultry rule check you need to make before building any run Not all towns allow backyard poultry — call your local permit office before you build anything. #homesteading #smallhomestead #quarteracre #backyardchickens #smallspacegardening #canning #selfreliance #smallfarm homesteading on a quarter acre, small acreage homestead, backyard chickens small space, small space gardening, quarter acre garden, small homestead, not enough land to homestead, canning and preserving from garden, raised bed garden, small place homestead, homesteading guilt, how many chickens in small yard, pantry from small garden, emily boone, small farm on a tenth of an acre, gardening on a small lot, preserving harvest small space, chickens that pay for themselves, urban homestead
