Farm In My Pocket
Welcome to Farm In My Pocket ('FIMP'), your single point of reference for Homesteading and self-sufficiency know-how online.
Anyone trying to become more self-sufficient, whether on a multi-acre rural plot or in an urban back garden, will run into all sorts of unexpected questions - things like:
- What's the easiest way to take the skin off a sweet chestnut?
- Where can I find plans to make a mobile polytunnel?
- How can I stop my chickens from pecking each other's feathers?
Whatever you want to know, type a few keywords into the Search window and we'll do our best to point you in the right direction, whether it's on this site or elsewhere. Click on the 'how to...' button at the top to see a list of things already covered here.
As the site develops we'll be adding more of our own content, as well as constantly reviewing the existing links. You can keep up to date with these changes and also see what we're getting up to in our own plots by clicking on the blog button, by subscribing to our RSS link or by signing up to our monthly e-newsletter.
If there is a topic you'd like us to cover which we presently don't, contact us and let us know.
We're also going to be featuring some extremely useful but hard-to find items - pressure canners, for example - in our online shop.
