About this user

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Hello! We have put together a Homesteading video series to help other people go down the route towards living and enjoying a more self-sufficient lifestyle. With the predominance of the major supermarket chains, too many people are now being offered sub-standard fruit and vegetables, mostly cheap foreign imports that are threatening the production of traditional local varieties. Organic eggs, for example, have much yellower yolks and taste so much better than their battery-equivalents. Home produced strawberries and raspberries are easy to grow and they taste delicious.

We hope you enjoy the videos. Keeping poultry and growing your own food can be a lot of hard work but the rewards are fantastic and it gives us both a great deal of pleasure!
