Journey making our homestead

Please check out www.rainwaterrunoff.com - a website dedicated to issues impacting small-scale farmers and homesteaders practising sustainable agriculture.

Ivan and Magda have 4ha of land in Poland. After 15 years of the property being abandoned after the death of Magda's grandparents, we moved into the village at the end of 2004. It took about a year of very hard work to clear the land closest to the property and we put in a vegetable garden and chicken run at the back of the house. Our philosophy is one of semi-self sufficiency since we both work. We prefer to grow our own produce rather than buy from the supermarkets and to shop at the local market in our nearby town during the summer if we need to bottle (can) or freeze more for the winter. 

I am also the author of the novel 'Death in Gaza' available on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BG64BZHY/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0
