Journaling: MEATS Once we switched off store bought meat and began raising our own & buying pasture raised from farms, all the awful, painful acne I was plagued with for years (but not during my teen years) suddenly disappeared. B had noticed I had even stopped wearing make up. Then recently, in speaking to someone else who was buying meat from a local farmer, the farmer asked him, “...and have you noticed your skin issues clearing up?” We sure did! | I found a really fun article in the Country Life in America Magazine of 1909 all about a family that lived off their farm for a year. Of course the prices are all different and the essentials they had to purchase look different than today, but the principles & ideas are all there. Living as much off your own land as possible.
We watch like minded people from Homesteading Family, Farmhouse on the Boone, Seasonal Homestead and follow ideas of ways to do this like from Joel Salatin, Sean & Beth Dougherty, Harvey Ussery, Justin Rhodes, Paul Gautschi, and many others too numerous to name.
We have lost too much generational information on best homesteading & farming practices, and we also have to navigate in a modern society. That is why so many have come forward to share their years of experience so generations to come can be healthy & live off the land once again.

Thanks for your comments Bourico, AMarie, and Jill! And indeed pesticides are a huge issue. I am grateful we have the opportunity to do more for ourselves since we can then control what's going into what we eat. ♥
Very interesting, Jess. Love the page.
It's a very good thing, when you can, to produce your own food, even if here in Europe the controls and standards are more demanding on meat. Our problem, like everywhere, is rather pesticides. I really like your page, its layout, the photos and the journaling.
Yes, it's a good idea Jessica, and hummmm so good food!
