About
Hi my name is Rick, and I welcome you to my Cape Cod life. I plan to retire in a few years and it is my hope to build up my little backyard into a hobby homestead. Each season I add more food systems. I have 8 hens as my eager partners in my small scale permaculture approach to food production. Also let me show you how I use resources unique to Cape Cod to supplement what I produce at home. I enjoy digging for clams, gathering oysters and going crabbing I would love to share that with you. When you produce and gather good food then you have to commit to cooking it, so you will find cooking videos too! Please subscribe.
