    Hi Niti 🙂

    So good to see you here. I watched a couple of your videos to try to get a basic understanding of your positions. Can you help me understand what, specifically, you are referring to when you say Natural Law? And Regenerative Meat? And Regenerative Farm?

    Thanks!

    Oh, one more – Pasteur or Bechamp?

    We had a tassel turn into a corn cob too! Weirdest thing I ever saw! We’ve had lots of veggie mutants too, two squash growing conjoined from a single bloom, same with several paste tomatoes etc I’ll see if I can get pics of them. Would love to know what’s causing this… Maybe the increase in emf ?

    I have a question too on the video about feeding for free..

    Seems like there would have to be a reliance on outside sources other than just buying feed to supply carbs. How could this work if all outside sources were for any reason unavailable? Just grow enough yourself? Have you guys ever tried that? If so, any idea how much would be needed per bird? Per year?

    Only have a few minutes (and could type easily for an hour on this topic) but I want to point out here why understanding the issue of jurisdiction and knowing ones rights makes all the difference. The truth is that ‘they’ have no legal jurisdiction in men and women engaging in free trade between themselves under the jurisdiction of the Land. What they do have some limited valid authority over is commerce, which many consider the same as trade, but legally it is entirely different. Commerce happens in the jurisdiction of the Sea. Trade happens in the jurisdiction of the land. Completely different animals.

    Their greatest advantage is that they know this. And for the most part, we do not.

    The solution lies in educating ourselves and learning how to ‘hold the line’ as Tag would say. Don’t give an inch.

    More later.

    Not sure if it would work on corn weevils because I’ve not tried it personally, but food grade diatomaceous earth eliminates any bugs with an exoskeleton in other grains and is completely non toxic and safe even for humans to consume.

    Good to see you have a source for local honey!

    From the research I have done on allergies, they are most often a sign of liver toxicity. So, a good detox should help clear those as well as the honey. Calcium bentonite clay taken internally is one of the safest ways to get that started.

    When my son in law came back from Iraq, he was highly toxic also. He had bloodwork done by a Naturopathic Doc and his aluminum numbers were scary high, along with some others. They went on strict Gerson Diet and clay baths and clay internally for a year and a few more things and after a year his bloodwork was clear.

    Wish you the best on your healing journey!

    August 31, 2022 at 3:30 pm in reply to: Winterizing your Livestock! How do you do it safely?

    We have done different things on different years. When we first started, we used a mobile chicken tractor, Joel Salatin style. During the winters of 2013 and 2014 it was unusually cold here, got down to -35, brr. During those frigid temps we moved the chicken tractor inside the barn and tarped the top to help keep heat inside. Now we have a larger coop with electricity inside so we keep a heat lamp on during the coldest times and put a regular light bulb inside a cinder block on the floor that we put the waterer on top of to keep it from freezing.

    I have a friend in North Dakota who built hoop house coops for her birds and that works really well for them.

    The other animals we deep bed inside the barn during the coldest part of the winter.

    Look forward to seeing what else others do.

    It definitely is a learning curve~ isn’t it!!

    The humidity factor is real.

    Don’t add too much fat to anything you hope to have keep well.

    Definitely keep the oil in the pump cleaned if you want the vacuum to hold without overheating the pump.

    Rodents love freeze dried mashed potatoes, lol. Now we put all mylar bags inside other buckets with lids as well.

    Lessons learned.

    Great point about having enough feed on hand. Because of supply chain issues this year we also added extra things to our garden specifically to feed the birds if shortages become a problem. We grew extra winter squash and okra etc, added a meal worm farm, put extra comfrey in the greenhouse and have some extra wheat and barley to sprout and grow grasses through the winter for them. If you happen to keep a milk cow, chickens love clabber too and even if dry through the winter months, you can freeze or freeze-dry the extra skim milk through summer and fall to ferment through the colder months.

    Not sure if you are at all familiar with Tapatalk, but there is a very large group on there based on the book Keeping A Family Cow. They keep it very well organized and have certain trusted members who moderate and a reporting system to identify and remove troublemakers. They also have developed agreed upon rules for the group that are clearly posted. You might be able to get some good guidelines from their successes. It’s also another great resource for anyone starting out with livestock and gardening.
