About Fodder Farm
Since May 2016 we have been working on developing our small two-acre farm into a (mostly) self-sufficient homestead. It is a journey that will take time, just as the plants around us take time to grow…
One of the focuses of Fodder Farm is to provide plants which enhance the sustainability of landscape in which we live. By growing plants which are multi use, soil enhancing, medicinal, shelter and fuel providing, or edible for both people and animals, we gain independence, self-reliance and often, health.
It is this other focus of Health which has led us to embrace the Homesteading way of life. The raising of animals for food, fiber and fertilizer etc. The growing of fruit and vegetables, fodder and forage for ourselves and our animals. An awareness of what we eat and what we use in our home and on our skin and hair, leading to making most of what we eat and use ourselves.
This journey is shared with you on our Facebook page Fodder Farm and in our group Homesteading New Zealand
