​In today's episode we answer a listener's question about how to grow a balanced diet on your homestead. You can grow almost everything you need for a balanced diet, if you've got the space. 
​
I talk about raising meat rabbits, chickens for meat and eggs, growing your own fruits, vegetables, grains and root crops, and more. You can also grow things to help balance your diet no matter how small your space is. The HappyLeafLED kit lets you grow a salad all year long if you've got a small table and a electrical outlet, and quail can live in a really small place.

You don't have to do it all at once, but you can get started with one thing today. The sense of accomplishment and overall wellness that you will achieve by growing a balanced diet can really take you places.

​In this weeks episode I tell you all about my favorite homesteading book "The Self Sufficient Life and How To Live It" by John Seymour. This book is really all you need to get started. As you travel the path of more and more self reliance you can get more books to add to your collection but this is the first one I would get. It can be found at Amazon for around $20.
