273: Gasp, we’re skipping meat birds this year. But why?
Homesteading isn’t always about piling up as much as you can raise, grow, and store. Sometimes it’s about making smart choices that align with your resources and goals. In today’s episode, I share two big reasons why we have decided to skip raising meat birds this year.
As we aim for a more self-sufficient, closed-loop system on our farm, we’re also keeping it real about the cost-effectiveness of raising meat versus buying it. Let’s touch on an often unspoken truth in the homesteading community: not having every option doesn’t mean you’re going to starve. It’s about making the most of what you have, and sometimes, that means letting go of what doesn’t serve you—even if you’re afraid it will mean losing a few “homesteader points.”
Hang out with me today for a candid discussion on adapting your farm plans, embracing change, and doing what makes sense for your homestead.
