Self Sufficient Hub
I’m Carl and I live in the south of the uk. My family and I moved to our house in the summer of 2018 and are working towards self sufficiency. Join me as I learn to raise livestock and crops, and learn alternative and forgotten ways to make food and earn money from the garden and countryside.
I will over time cover foraging for mushrooms, raising meat animals and butchery, cheese making, food preservation and forgotten skills among many other things.
Thanks for coming on my journey with me.
