Today I’m answering the burning question, how to you make extra money with your farm. While our farm is not our main source of income, we’ve had to get resourceful in order to be able to keep the farm running. Today I’m sharing my experiences on the best ways to allow your farming endeavor to pay for itself.

This woman is an old soul with centuries of knowledge and wisdom she has desire and passion this woman is what I would call a golden nugget.
Great video. Ty
Beekeeping is also a great resource for a homestead.
Your tutorial is probably one of the best I've seen on homesteading. Keep up the good work.
What a great video, filled with amazing info. You are a very resourceful and super smart lady. And your animals are just gorgeous.
Hallelujah! Someone who is realistic about the economics of small scale farming.
I laughed when you said "quite honestly, ducks are kinda nasty." Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us who are trying to live the off-grid life! You rock.
It’s hard to find a good used tillers
Thank you for the detailed information.
Selling eggs to a normal bakery of low-quality ingredients at the same price as low-quality ordinary eggs seems unwise; ecological eggs are so much more valuable than farm-factoried ones. I wonder what they are fed with, don't seem to be grazing hens.About washing, can't you make a cleaner laying-place?
You talk of "we", does that mean you have a man? I googled for homesteading of a lone woman. Annoying and time-wasting being led to a supported woman not at all alone. That is why I don't listen to it all. The wrong frame. Seems to be good info otherwise.
Hi There,
I'm watching this from the Temperate West Coast of Ireland! Your ideas are great – and have helped me to focus on what to grow and how many chickens and ducks to have. I presume your family is vegetarian? Last year my polycarbonate tunnel blew 500m up the road in a storm – I salvaged what I could and have just closed it in – this time, cemented into the ground and tied to an old stone shed for security. It is an amazing sense of achievement reusing anything I could – permaculture is definitely the may to go for me. Thanks for your broadcasts!
I learned so much. Thank you!!
Great video!
Inspired for sure. Thank you!
Jess, thank you for this video!!!

So many Ideas in my head now LOL Thank you
Thank you so much for this! We are hoping to homestead and are definitely low income so this was so helpful
I needed this video! My husband and I want to homestead, but it always seems so daunting and expensive. This really helped us realize it is doable!
Wow, this is the only video I saved it onto my laptop and refer it multiple times in coming years when I buy a piece of land in this year. I am 42 now and gathering as much knowledge as I can on homesteading. I already live frugal life that's helping me save enough money to buy about 3 acres land with cash. Please , let me know if there's any unrestricted one to three acres land around South East Texas, South West Louisiana, South West Alabama. Thank you and obviously I subscribed.
Excellent use of 26 minutes of my life. I"m land-shopping right now and this is such useful information.
