Is it possible to live off just your own chickens and vegetable garden? In this short video, I explain how it is possible to live off keeping chickens for eggs and by growing your own fruit & vegetables.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
Thanks Mark. You've been a massive inspiration to me in my back yard food journey. I've been considering choosing, and I think I'll do it now.
thanks
Wow this video aged really well!
2020 felt like 2010 all over again. 3:17 …. my grandmother died and the family income plummeted; I literally survived by eating, preserving, and selling fruits and veggies from the garden. Sold enough produce to pay the water bill, feed my family, and get extra pocket money.
Be optimistic, but be prepared.
2 years ago, could you forsee the content of this video coming to a reality?
Anyone here at 2021 where this seems inevitable
Prophetic words. I discovered your channel today and I'm enjoying it immensely. Thank you very much for taking the trouble of making these videos and sharing your farm with us. New subscriber here. Cheers from Spain!
How many acres do you need to grow vegetables and raise chickens to support your family? How many acres would you say that you need per person?
Nice Vid, but try to do this in a cold climate like here in Germany, North Rhine Westfalia. You would need plenty of room to be selfsufficient, as we only have maximum 4 months of year, when growing plants is even possible.
WARNING OF FAMINE COMING!
i’m from sydney and have a few metres of backyard, i’m going to buckle down and figure out how to maximise what i’ve got and make a year-round plan.
Wonderful
This is so eerie to watch 1 year after corona
Very smart man
Mark is a prophet, he literally saw corona coming before it was invented in Wuhan lab.
I would like you to do more on this subject
I do agree with you
You could also start tank aquaponics and grow fish! I do
I live in the USA, in New Jersey. Inclement weather can be a catastrophe. We get a lot of inclement weather. Year round, we get really bad rain storms and have to stay home (a few times it actually closes most of the public buildings in the area). I like to grow my own food in case I am stuck at home because of a catastrophe/state of emergency. You don’t have to leave your house for food.
Your garden is one of the best gardens in the world.
This video is fun and entertaining. It’s a classic for me.
At my house in August 2020, I was stuck at home for 24 hours or more. It was only suppose to rain a little bit but it stormed badly and we lost power and there was flooding on the streets. Everything locked down for 24 hours or more so people can stay home. It was very scary.
Prepping for the Dark Winter….get ready for phase 5 lockdown and Martial Law.
This was a prophetic video considering 2020 and 2021 corona situation but scientists have been saying for years pandemics are not a matter of if but when
our food source is about to plummet! I'm getting this too late!
I am begining to beleive that living to survive is the only way humans where meant to live…. all this progress just ruins our humanity and the earth..
The real question is how many chickens and how big of a garden do you need per person to survive?
Prophetic. The line around the block at our local feed store, for baby chicks, was insane during the beginning of the corona mess.
I'm on pension now and with covid raising prices of food I have started a veggy garden. I am digging up the lawn at the back (exercise) and so far started 3 trees (fig, lemon and mulberry) from clippings. I have planted some marigolds to ward off pests and planted a small amount of veggies. By next year I hope to supply 30 percent of my veggies from my garden.
