Hey! We produce our own natural olive oil and live in the grove off-grid 🫒🤙🏼

Hello nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7vfjxuhrqt3s9ccn5dpcxcusz9thwden5te0v35hgar09ec82c30wfjkccteqqsrvxtz7pjs9puh9dhgm38j4j0ysngc0lc623n309zgg8ydmt5mlfqgatykv ! I wish I had realized while in the city how much food I could grow without having land - rabbits, quails, potted goodies. My family and I have a ton of stories, but the main one is that we didn't know anything about growing our own food 3 years ago and now we have a dairy cow, goats, chickens, rabbits, ducks and geese. So - meat, eggs, milk, herbs , the occasional tomato plus lots of fruit coming in the next few years (trees and berry bushes). It's very satisfying. There are lots of us on here! Look for #homestead #permaculture

We raised rabbits when I was a kid, they are probably the most beginner friendly livestock. As far as calories gained for effort expended - it depends on where you are. Fishing is very high calories/effort and so is deer hunting (depending on where you live) My daughter and I can legally take 12 deer each, per year. I like deer meat but the fat is not as good as beef, so I also buy beef. 6-8 deer is enough for a year since I also eat beef. The bones are also great for bone broth, and of course you get 2 kg of liver and .5 kg heart per animal. Also low maintenance fruit like figs and blueberries are much easier and less time consuming than tending a garden.

Some figs I planted in '22, and only 3 years later

Just a n00b in this world but added 7 fruit trees, 7 berry bushes, and a grape vine in the last year. Slowly replacing every ornamental with a plant that has an additional function beyond beauty across our entire property.

When I first saw a fig tree my mind was blown.
