~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is a self-sufficient life possible? Hello, My name is Jean Marie. I live in a small western Ny town in the country. I am married with 4 children. I have a small farm with about 40 chickens, 50 fruit trees, some nut trees, large veggie gardens, assorted fruits, and a bee hive. I would like to have discusions with others on how to become self-sufficient, how much self-sufficiency can be achieved in this world, and how to live off the land.

Hi Jean Marie
Thinking superstitously, Id say the gods dont want the hive in that spot, maybe you can find a more productive location. Or drive a few stakes into the ground and place it in between them.
Regarding living off your pantry and calculating how long you have, the only thing I can think of is by creating meals in your head. one chicken and 4 jars is a meal for the 6 of you, and so on.
Susan have a great blog in my opinion

I hope you find helpful data with her
Thanks! We thought about putting snow fence stakes in the ground, but I'm wondering how to lift the boxes in and out. It sounds like it might work.
Thanks for the blog on self reliant living, it was very helpful!
Thank you John for the recommendation! And thank you Jean Marie for visiting. It's always nice to know that something you have to say is useful to some else.
