With in-depth information on electric fencing, watering, and husbandry for ruminants, poultry, and pigs, plus butchering, dairying, and more
"If we work hard, we sleep well."
Twenty years ago, when authors Shawn and Beth Dougherty purchased the land they would come to name the Sow's Ear, the state of Ohio designated it "not suitable for agriculture." Today, their family raises and grows 90% of their own food.
Such self-sufficiency is largely the result of basing their farming practices around intensive pasture management. Pioneered by such luminaries as Allan Savory, Greg Judy, and Joel Salatin, the tenets of holistic grazing--employed mostly by larger-scale commercial operations--have been adapted by the Doughertys to fit their family's needs. In The Independent Farmstead, The Sow's Ear model for regenerating the land and growing food--"the best you ever tasted"--is elucidated for others to use and build upon.
In witty and welcoming style, The Independent Farmstead covers everything from choosing a species of ruminant and incorporating it into a grass-based system to innovative electric fencing and watering systems, to what to do with all of the milk, meat, and, yes, manure that the self-sustaining farm produces. Within these pages, the Doughertys discuss how to:
Find and improve poor, waste, or abused land and develop its natural water resources;
Select and purchase the appropriate ruminant for regenerating your farmstead;
Apply fencing strategies and pasture management basics;
Implement basic, uncomplicated food processing, including large and small animal butchering and cheese making; and
Integrate grass, gardens, and livestock to minimize or eliminate the need for off-farm inputs.
As the Doughertys write, more and more people today are feeling "the desire for clean, affordable food, unmodified, unprocessed, and unmedicated and the security of local food sourcing for ourselves and our children." The Independent Farmstead is a must-have resource for those who count themselves as part of this movement: both new and prospective farmers and homesteaders, and those who are interested in switching to grass-based systems. Best of all it's the kind of rare how-to book that the authors themselves view not as a compendium of one-size-fits-all instructions but as "the beginning of a conversation," one that is utterly informative, sincere, and inspiring.

Описание: Frustrated with the political correctness required to gain his PhD, Cameron Stewart, a Vietnam veteran, allies himself with a brilliant NIH researcher to test his theories.In the laboratory they create a drug enabling rats to access knowledge inherited from their parents, and treat their only child with the compound they developed. The result is Sophia, fully equipped at birth with the knowledge and language capabilities of her parents and forefathers at the time she was conceived.Sophia rises in the CIA to brilliantly shape policy, all the while building a family of seven boys similarly gifted to carry on her legacy. The Stewarts and their allies are all Amulots, American-Ulster-Scots. They build the world's largest corporation, but desire to restore America to the greatness achieved by their ancestors. Half of the states nullify the Federal Government, and civil war ensues. It is a war of a few giants against many deluded Lilliputians led by those who would enslave the world, and a battle of knowledge against ignorance.

Описание:
"Learning the craft of writing, for me, has been a way to grow in authenticity," Edward A. Dougherty writes. "And if we're lucky, these questions never resolve themselves completely or for long." In the 18 remarkable essays of Journey Work, Dougherty reveals his development as poet, teacher, and peacemaker, inviting readers to consider how they too are moving toward wholeness within themselves and toward mutuality with others, even those labeled as other or enemy. Journey Work is a deeply personal book for Dougherty and an indispensable guide for any on the path of art-making, which is the way of soul-making.
Have you been there? Have you been in place where you felt abandoned, forgotten, down trodden and without hope. If you have, join the crowd. We all have at some point in our lives. The author considers the dark times as Gethsemane moments. This inspirational book explores these times and more importantly offers encouragement and possible ways to get through Gethsemane. Life is beautiful, yet into every life comes periods of darkness, or you can call them Gethsemane moments, we can and must go through Gethsemane.

Описание: The ultimate modern western Landslide tells the story of four people caught up in events beyond their control in the El Paso - Las Cruces area of the American Southwest. Set in 1986, the events could have happened yesterday, so little have the issues and problems of the area changed. The characters include: Stuart Prescott, the king and patron of southern Do a Ana County, New Mexico Mac Frazier, the hotheaded rancher and owner of the Bar-D Mary Lou Frazier, the discontented wife of Mac Aimee Barnes, the Carolina sweetheart with a devastating secret Tippy Gallagher, the beautiful consort to an Aztec god Guadalupe Garza, the teenager alone in world of slave traffickers. Living in an area between the US and Mexico, Anglos and Mexicans vie for dominance against a background of conflicting cultures, drugs, illegal alien traffic, chili cook-offs, and free-spirited western living. There are no heroes, only casualties and survivors.

Описание: Progressives have Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals, and now ordinary Americans have Starve The Beast STB tells American citizens how to defeat progressive propaganda, tactics, and initiatives. It builds on the successful strategy pursued by the first Congress, and shows how to rein-in a run-away government, one that no longer follows the Constitution and therefore possesses no legitimacy. If you want to learn how to re-make the United States into the land of liberty, restore the principles of American exceptionalism, and save the country from collapse, this book NOT ONLY PROVIDES INSPIRATION, BUT OUTLINES STRATEGIES AND REAL WORLD TACTICS.Needed like no other book since Thomas Paine's Common Sense, STB will generate controversy on every page. American citizens have learned that no president, the Congress, or the Supreme Court will save the country, regardless of which political party is in power. It is up to the citizenry.Starve The Beast is not for the moneyed and well-connected elites from selected universities currently running the federal government. It is for the people so they can reclaim government by the people, of the people and for the people.
