Can A Backyard Feed A Whole Family? Suburban Homesteaders Try

Homesteading dates back to the pioneer days (remember Little House On The Prairie?), when families grew much of their own food on their own land.  In the modern version, homesteaders avoid grocery stores by planting backyard gardens and raising pigs, rabbits and other animals for meat.  In this segment, WUTC visits Monica and Byron DeLoach, homesteaders who live in North Georgia.

Oscar Hank Will, author ofPlowing with Pigs and Other Creative, Low-Budget Homesteading Solutions,also joins in the conversation.
