Year-round self-sufficiency is possible\u2014even in small spaces! This homestead garden plan offers ideas to not just grow vegetables, but also protein, fruit, storage crops, and more to stockpile your own food.<\/p>\n
Having a summer garden is lovely. Who doesn’t love fresh produce in the spring through fall? But will a few tomato plants and some leafy greens be enough to give you the food security you are looking for on your homestead?<\/p>\n
What about those long winter months? How do you plan your garden to feed your family well beyond the gardening season? <\/em><\/p>\n On just a 1\/4 acre of our property, we can grow well over half of the food our family consumes each year. This includes meat, fruit, and a variety of energy-rich storage crops<\/a> that we harvested last year and are still eating into July.<\/p>\n
