Ozarks Homesteading Ozarks Homesteading Page Welcome to my homesteading page. It is under construction so check back for updates. What I hope to do with this page is share information I have gathered that is relevant to homesteading. I don't believe in reinventing the wheel, so in many cases links to other web sites are provided. Chickens are about the easiest farm animal to keep.
Pigs are often the second step in raising animals on the small farm.
For a small farm, many people consider draft horses an alternative to the tractor. However, they still eat even if they don't work. Bees help in polinating crops, gardens, and fruit trees. They also produce honey and beeswax, both valuable to the homesteader. Of course you'll want to grow as much of your own food as possible.
