About DeweyLikeDonuts

Hey there! Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I share my passion for all things green, growing, and self-sufficient. I’m here to take you on a journey through the ups and downs of creating a life that’s a bit more in tune with the earth, a bit more independent, and a whole lot rewarding.

My adventure into this world started in a way that might sound familiar: with a pantry full of canned goods, bags of rice, and enough beans to last a lifetime (or so I thought). The idea was simple—be prepared for anything. But as I stacked another can onto the shelf, a realization hit me. What happens when the cans run out? That question changed everything.

So, I rolled up my sleeves and dug into the dirt—literally. I started with a few plants, then a garden, and before I knew it, I was a full-blown chicken parent. Along the way, I discovered something incredible: the food I grew and the eggs my chickens laid didn’t just taste better; they felt better, knowing they were free of the additives and “extras” that come with store-bought stuff.

But it’s not just about the food. It’s about the journey—learning to work with nature instead of against it, discovering the rhythms of the earth, and realizing that, with a bit of knowledge and effort, we can create ecosystems that sustain us, enrich our lives, and maybe even leave the world a little better than we found it.

Here on my site, you’ll find the essence of my experiences—tips on starting your own garden, even if you’re working with just a few square feet of balcony or backyard. I’ll take you through the basics of soil health, the joys of chicken keeping, and the ins and outs of turning your harvest into a year-round feast.

More than anything, this place is about sharing the journey of becoming more self-sufficient, one plant, one chicken, and one jar of preserved goodness at a time. It’s about preparing not just for the unknown but for a life that’s healthier, more sustainable, and deeply fulfilling.

So, whether you’re here to learn about permaculture, find out how to make your garden grow, or just curious about how to live a life a little less dependent on the grocery store, you’re in the right place. I’m thrilled to have you join me on this adventure. Let’s grow, learn, and thrive together.

Welcome to my site—where the journey to self-sufficiency and sustainability is always an adventure.
