Great article. If only everyone would take one small step each day then we would change the world. I included it in at the healthy living blog carnival: http://bestblogreview.com/2010/05/guide-to-healthy-living/ I love composting and am always in search of grass or local antibiotic free beef. I usually have to eat bison or venison when looking for clean red meat sources. Money talks though so stop buying the bad stuff and eventually they will stop making it! (hopefully)

Thanks, we’re pretty fortunate to live in an agriculturally rich area. We found our supplier on Craigslist under Farm + Garden. He was about an hour away from us. We’ve since asked our local independent butcher and they’ve given us some additional sources right here in our neighborhood. We’ll try them next time.

You can also try EatWild.com for listings of ranches in your area that supply grass-fed beef. Hope this helps!

I love your plan of building a homestead! It’s great to hear you’re supporting your local economy by purchasing fruits, veggies, and beef locally. That’s pretty amazing. How did you find your local beef supplier? I’m just curious how far away they are. Thanks for these great ideas!

Some people give up before they start- they say “I can’t do it all, so why bother”, but you show people that even if you can’t do everything to live a self sustainable life, you can get pretty darn close.
We also have a similar dream- we’d love to live in an earthship (which recycles water and is solar and wind powered) with goats and chickens and growing all our own food, but in the meantime, we’ll settle for having chickens and window box gardens and making solar cookers and using solar hot water. Though I really would love a wind turbine!!!

In addition to learning to can, try dehydrating as well. I use it for herbs and veggies.

And just cooking the majority of your meals from ‘scratch’ helps a GREAT deal.

I’m lucky that I’m also able to buy grass fed beef and free range eggs and chicken locally. (Also buffalo and venison yummmmm)
