What does your homestead do best?

I was inspired by a recent Youtube video from the Farm Hand's Companion discussing Figuring Out the Things Your Homestead Can Do Best.

In summary, the video discusses looking at the things you accomplish on the homestead and narrowing down to two or three enterprises that you do best.

For example, raising hogs and milling lumber could be some of the main things that someone enjoys both during the process and with the finished products the processes create.

What things do you consider to be your favorite endeavors on your homestead? You may not sell the product, but bonus points if it created a stream of income for you.

Potatoes and squash!

Maybe pokeweed too?

For my current setup, I say that raising laying hens and building soil organic matter have been my most fruitful endeavors.

I have a semi-consistent supply of eggs that feed myself, my local family and work family. Tending chickens is a pleasurable endeavor that I imagine I will continue to do for years to come.

Compost/Biochar/Chop and Drop are my second best. I enjoy helping things rot. What a strange thing to say!

Potatoes and raspberries are the only things that both: just loves it here AND is something people would recognize as a possible enterprise.

Maybe garlic if I had better weed-control practices and more compost.

Milkweed. Sugar maples in 50 years. Wild mustard, horseradish, dandelions.
