In Episode 916 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes talks with Staci and Jeremy Hill about raising six kids on an 11-acre homestead while producing meat, milk, eggs, and vegetables. They explain water-glassing eggs, canning, fermenting, freezing, freeze-drying, fast-chilling raw milk, and using five refrigerators and six deep freezers. The Hills also share how they left town in small steps, teach their kids through farm work and homeschool, and earn income through agritourism. Watch to learn how small steps can fill a pantry, cut food waste, and keep homegrown food ready beyond harvest season.</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Staci and Jeremy Hill&#39;s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTo6PYJoFB6MJU9NdFX-EKw</p><p><br></p><p>Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p><br></p><p>0:00 - Raw Milk Safety, Testing, and Digestion</p><p>3:21 - The Cooling Rule for Better Raw Milk</p><p>5:08 - Machine Milking and Sanitation</p><p>8:22 - Making Every Dairy Staple at Home</p><p>10:12 - Why Raw Milk Laws Still Exist</p><p>12:55 - Spoiled Milk, Clabber, and Shelf-Stable Dairy</p><p>16:07 - Raising and Preserving Nearly All Their Food</p><p>17:36 - Water Glassing Eggs for 12 to 18 Months</p><p>20:07 - Freeze-Drying Meat and Saving the Fat</p><p>21:19 - KuneKune Pigs and Farm Agritourism</p><p>24:33 - From City Life to an 11-Acre Homestead</p><p>26:21 - How Six Kids Keep the Homestead Running</p><p>28:22 - Homeschooling Through Farm Life and Business</p><p>33:03 - Real Food vs. Ultra-Processed Decline</p><p>36:34 - Starting Small With Food Independence</p><p>39:05 - Best Starter Animals for Self-Sufficiency</p><p>43:59 - Selling and Processing Farm-Raised Meat</p><p>48:47 - The Preserver&#39;s Garden and Seasonal Growing</p><p>52:48 - Seven Preservation Methods and Fermentation</p><p>56:34 - Food Storage for a Family of Eight</p>
