About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

What do you think it would take to make your farm self sufficient from doing manure runs? How many horses, how many acres of pasture? 135 buckets of manure is a lot. It has clearly made a difference in your harvest. The goats help some and cover crops have filled in the gap. Can't forget your humanure. Hope this doesn't give Anna too much to think about or too much math to tinkering with.
