Grow Your Own Animal Food 'Living Permaculture' Episode 2 with Brendon McKeon

There is no greater feeling than producing the majority of what we need on on own land. We started this journey 9 years ago in Costa Rica and are so amazed with how far we have come. Feeding ourselves from our land always seemed like a daunting task, but feeding all of our animals too...Impossible. So we thought. I am happy to say, after years of hard work and experimentation, we are finally feeding our animals from our own homegrown food.
Animals are such an integral part of a Permaculture Homestead. They give us so much abundance, make our work on the farm so much easier, and bring us so much joy in our relationships with them. Living in the tropics certainly may make the task a little bit easier, but I am confident this can be done anywhere in the world. We are what we eat...and we eat what our animals eat. Fresh, homegrown, Organic food makes for happy and healthy animals. We would love to hear your comments on what you do in your part of the world. Thanks for watching.

The music is great but a bit loud and I can't hear you very well. Great info, thanks for sharing.

I never really knew it until just a couple of months ago after moving to Nicaragua that I have an undeniable passion to do just what you have achieved . I am blown away by the level at which you have done it  . I have been researching and studying all I can lately on how to turn a piece of land into a perfect, harmonious cycle of plants, food, animals and everything else, natural  . You have incorporated everything that I have been learning about into your forest,  from mulch, compost, teas, animal fertilizer, naturally grown animal fodder to even a rocket stove . I am so much more inspired now than I was, Thank you so much
