The Living Covenant
To share your land with animals is to enter a covenant—a silent promise of care in exchange for sustenance, of respect in exchange for resilience. The hum of a healthy beehive is the heartbeat of a thriving homestead; the warmth of a freshly laid egg is a small, perfect gift. This is not merely livestock management; it is a partnership with the wild, a daily practice in responsibility and connection.
Here, we share the practical wisdom needed to honor that covenant. Learn the rhythms of feeding, the art of shelter, and the quiet language of a flock or herd.
