This course will empower you to take charge of your wellness by providing your own homegrown, nutrient-dense food to heal your body from within – including livestock for milk, eggs and meat as well as keeping a guardian dog to protect your investments. Learn to raise and care for all the animals on your homestead holistically by implementing a cohesive, multi-species system with bulit-in preventative care as well as natural remedies only as needed. Learn how to use the food you grow in your meals and how to preserve it for year round food security. We will begin with planning exactly how many animals you will need for your family, and keep the long term plan (including income and expenses) in mind as we begin implementing small steps and end up with a cohesive whole.
