16 Mar 2022Does homesteading REALLY save you money? | The Pantry Chat00:36:50

We're answering the question "does homesteading really save you money?" in today's Pantry Chat. 

We can't cover all areas of homesteading, so today we're focusing just on the food costs of growing and raising your own food vs buying the equivalent in quality at the grocery store.

14 Dec 2022No More Stinky Chicken Coops! Use the DEEP LITTER METHOD instead! | Pantry Chat01:09:55

What is the deep litter method when it comes to raising backyard chickens? It's a way to keep healthy, happy chickens in a stink-free coop (no ammonia smell) by piling up shavings into a deep bed on the floor.

Join me with Harvey Ussery as we discuss everything you need to know about getting started and maintaining the deep litter method in your chicken coop.

10 Jun 2023Multi-Species Rotational Grazing for the Small Homestead | Pantry Chat00:31:12

Rotational grazing is not a new concept. It's been around since creation. How to mimic nature and utilize these methods on a homestead has been taught very well by people such as Joel Salatin and Greg Judy.

After years of studying, implementing, making adjustments, and narrowing down how to make these methods work on a smaller scale, we've finally found a flow that's making huge strides to improve the pastures on our homestead.

Five years ago, the same amount of pasture couldn't even sustain four sheep. Now it can sustain a dairy cow, eight sheep, 70 laying hens, over 400 meat chickens, and some pigs each year.

So how do we take these rotational grazing methods and scale them down for the small homesteader (or even someone raising backyard chickens)? I'm glad you asked! Check out today's new Pantry Chat here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/rotational-grazing-for-the-small-homestead/

24 Jun 2023Who knew your could grow THIS staple!?! Stop buying it at the store! | Pantry Chat Podcast00:51:20

If you want to have a sustainable oil source (that's not from animal fats) then consider growing and pressing your own seed and nut oils.

Join me with my guest Bevin Cohen from  @SmallHouseFarm as we break down everything you need to know about pressing your own seed and nut oils. 

We're clarifying the misinformation that all seed oils are unhealthy, as well as discussing the supplies needed to press your own oil and the sustainability of pressing enough oil for your family each year.

08 Jul 2023The Ultimate Homestead Pig? Here's why! | Pantry Chat00:28:47

Welcome back to another episode of the Pantry Chat: Food for Thought. In today’s episode, we’re discussing the reasons why we think the Kune Kune pig is the perfect homestead pig. We’ve raised many breeds in the past but never kept year-round pigs nor raised our own breeding stock… until now!

With the Kune Kune pig, we can keep them year-round and raise a lot of pork as well as our year’s supply of lard for FREE! Listen to today’s episode to learn how we do this and why you may want to consider raising Kune Kune pigs yourself.
