Turn Your Backyard Into a Self Sufficient Food Production Machine!

If you recognize that world is changing radically and that being able to grow your own food is critical to your long-term survival, then you are in the right place. Watching this DVD is the fastest way to learn how to grow food in your backyard or small farm. This video will save you many years of effort; the video is loaded with quality information to get you up to speed as quickly as possible.

"This is the most comprehensive video I've seen on how to become self-reliant. There just isn't anything like it out there. What they present is hard won information gathered from actually living it." Jack Spirko - host of The Survival Podcast

Not long ago humans fed themselves, provided for their on needs and were largely self sufficient. They knew how to feed themselves, how to take care of animals, what to plant and what to do when something went wrong. Our new DVD, “Food Production Systems for a Backyard or Small Farm” is your guide to recapturing that lost knowledge.

This DVD is special because it was created by a family that has actually done it, the things we will teach you to do and more importantly not to do we have already done. We will reveal to you our successes and our failures, some of them very costly to the tune of thousands of dollars so you never have to make them yourself.

The results if you follow our methods, systems and hard proven techniques will be as much self sufficiency as you decide you want in your backyard. In this DVD you will learn about every component of our self sufficient food production model including…

Water Harvesting and Passive Irrigation
How to Turn Any Soil into Fertile Black Gold
Which Livestock to Use and for What Purpose
Home Butchering
The Role of Dogs on a Homestead
How to Convert Your Farm or Urban Back Yard into a Food Producing Machine
