Say 'NO' to Medical Intervention!
It’s time to take control of our health and stop putting it in the hands of snake oil salesmen (grocery stores, processed food companies, and Big Pharma). Plan your escape and break away from what has been forced upon us for generations. Good health starts with our diet and every bite matters.

Is Your Chicken a Cannibal?
Other possibilities for cannibalism among chickens are:
Too much heat
Not enough nesting boxes
Abrupt change in environment
Mixing different breeds of chickens (although this one seems really odd to cause cannibalism)

Homemade Chick-Fil-A Copycat Recipe for Homesteaders
Our family has taken an indefinite break from eating foods not prepared in our home. This has been pretty challenging and has caused us to make some big lifestyle changes.
Chemicals are immersed in almost everything sold in stores, including things labeled “organic.” So we set out to buy our food from local, organic farmers as much as we can as well as what we produce at home.
We’re about 8 weeks in and have worked out a lot of the kinks from such a big change for our family of 7.
Eventually our goal is to eat only what is grown on our own land, but until that time we have found a good starting point.

Details of Fermenting Food
Fermenting the feed is a simple process that involves soaking it in water for a day or so prior to feeding.
Fermenting chicken feed has many health benefits for your flock.
1. Able to digest to food more easily.
2. Fermenting draws out the nutrients making them easier for their bodies to absorb
3. Natural probiotics are added during the digestion process
4. Good gut bacteria are introduced during fermentation improving gut health
Follow these instructions to ferment your feed:
1. Fill a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 with feed.
2. Cover the feed with water, filling the bucket about 2 inches higher than the feed.
3. Watch it expand.
4. Wait at least 24 hours before using to allow fermentation to begin.

Homemade Banana Bread
3 overripe bananas
1 1/2 c flour (we use gluten free because of allergies, but regular all purpose will work just fine)
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c melted butter
1 egg
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1/2 t cinnamon
1 c chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients (except chocolate chips) until just mixed. Add in chocolate chips and mix. Pour into greased bread pan or muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees until knife comes out clean. Bread usually takes about 1 hour and muffins about 25 minutes, but adjust accordingly. Enjoy!
