Slightly Self-Sufficient – A Blog Dedicated To All Things Self-Sufficiency

sssWelcome to Slightly Self-Sufficient, our blog about all things self-sufficiency. We are Matt and Liz, a husband a wife team who enjoy trying our hand at the skills required to live the smallholder lifestyle. We are currently renting a house with a garden large enough for us to grow a reasonable amount of fruit and vegetables. We also have an allotment and help out at our local community garden.

 

Other interests of ours including foraging, homebrewing and preserving. We have quite busy lives, what with working and raising young children. But in our spare time we love to be outdoors cultivating or in the kitchen putting our produce to the best use we can. On this blog we are documenting our successes and failures as we attempt to grow, forage, preserve and most of all enjoy the produce of the land.
