Join us this coming Saturday, February 1st, at 10 AM Mountain to listen to Paul and guests discuss strategies for growing enough food to feed your family.

Here are some things the discussion might touch on:

- growing enough calories
- sunchokes
- perennials : will feed your family 10 years in the future
- in other words: what to grow
- plant what you'll eat
- don't let the food go to waste
- some things take a lot of commitment (like milking a cow:)
- variety in what you grow, preserve, store
- storage crops: short term (one winter: potatoes, onions, squash etc), mid term (what last longer than a year??) and long term: wheat berries, flour corn etc
- start small if you are a beginner (don't plant all 20 acres!)
- primary, secondary, tertiary gardens (maybe you only fence the primary one at first)
- start by growing food to feed only one person (or less) if you are a beginner

The link to the YouTube live will be posted in the private PIE forum.

Thank you to Paul, Liv, and everyone behind the scenes for your time and energy poured into this event!

Not sure if others may be thinking to ask... I'll stick my introverted neck out and shamelessly inquire:
Will this smack down become available for viewing at a later time, by chance?

I purchased some pie in support of the empire, regardless

Again, thank y'all for all that you are and do!!!

The current plan is that it will be viewable for pie people.
