Our children are suffering like never before. The missing element to restoring health is found in the wisdom of Grandpa's small family farm producing good food locally. To return to small health focused family farms across the nation, we must use a farming model based on quality and profitability to be truly sustainable. This series of books provides a model for small profitable farms producing food that supports true health. The goal is to empower you to implement this model and create a successful, independent, sustainable farm through easy to follow, step by step instructions. This book, "Grow Your Own Food: The Model" outlines the foundation for profitability through growing your own animal feed. Feed is the single largest cost in raising animals. This model eliminates up to 80% of the feed cost and thereby brings independence and sustainability through profitability while focusing on quality. Anyone can implement this model. There are no prerequisites, only minor investments and low labor. Start a small farm, make a existing farm profitable, or just grow your own food for almost nothing.
