Urban Homesteaders Produce 6,000 Pounds of Food on 1/10 Acre. They grow 350 different vegetables, herbs, fruits and berries complete with chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats & honey bees.


This blows away all the propaganda pushed in public, schools, and universities. If we would all be able to live like this and in peace, we would all be healthier and maybe, just maybe there would be some harmony in this crazy world. Big pharma wants to keep people sick so they can keep making their astronomical profits with their synthetic drugs. That's a shame.

The ideas and methods shown by this family are good. They doesn't preach and doesn't make any extravagant claims of ownership of the term "urban homesteading", so at least there's that. The services we get, can be reproduced by the community without a state and the costs can be shared without having a distant state to force extraction. Less than 1 percent of people will try this and actually succeed. The danger does not come from the people who actually work for their food bud... Gotta address the economics. Make it not so time-costly. Or take money from people, invest in a farm, and simply serve them.

Most people aren't willing to devote all that time or effort. They also may not have the knowledge. This family does. They need to leverage that or make some super simple kits and get distribution for those. 20k is not bad, considering all that they save, but they miss out on a lot of other stuff, and it takes 4-5 people to make that? Huge opportunity cost. Think business. I realize that it's maybe hard to grow your own food in America, because you should have a property and not everyone can afford to buy property especially if you work for a minimum wage. But if you have a land anywhere outside the US even in the poor country wich cost less than a used car you will be able to have a freedom and enjoy your life to the fullest. And that's amazing! A lot of work involved, but well worth it!

As a bonus, you could watch the socal connnected storyline.
