Homesteading Goals - Food & Gardening

It's important to have goals. It's going to take me years to get to where I'd like to be, but with careful planning I believe that I can get there sooner than one would think. Here are some of my goals I have for my future homestead that I will continually reference...

FOOD AND GARDENING

• Growing 99 % of produce
• Saving seeds

HEALTHY SOIL / PLANTING METHODS

• Remineralization
• Self watering containers
• Integral pest management
• Square inch plantings
• Successive sowing

COMPOSTING METHODS

• Vermicomposting
• Composting food, garden and green waste
• Brewing compost teas

FOOD PRESERVATION / STORAGE

• Canning
• Drying
• Freezing
• Fermenting

FOOD CHOICES

• Buying in bulk
• Organic
• Local
• Eating seasonally
• Reducing "food miles"
• Fair trade

This is just the beginning. Here's to a long and fruitful life full of good music and home grown food!

Warm Wishes,
