Self-Sufficiency... until the power goes out!

Published on: 2025/06/25

I am so proud at how self-sufficient my husband and I have become the last few years. We grow the majority of our own veggies and herbs and have a budding orchard in progress that will provide us fruit and berries. I barter goods and services with friends and neighbours… which I absolutely love doing! We raise pigs and chickens, forage for wild mushrooms, berries and other edible forest goodies and hunt and fish to fill the freezers.
