<img alt="" src="http://www.motherearthnews.com/uploadedImages/Blogs/The_Happy_Homesteader/GardenEggs1.jpg?n=7491" title="Backyard Chickens" class="alignright" width="500" height="350" />Over the past year, I have noticed an increased interest in raising chickens arising all over the nation. Locally, <a href="http://www.ksl.com" title="KSL">KSL</a> has published several articles recently about this phenomenon (see below) as has the <a href="http://online.wsj.com" title="Wall Street Journal">Wall Street Journal</a> (also below) and most prepper blogs. My family started keeping backyard chickens about four years ago and have had some good success. In this article we’ll summarize some of the benefits to raising chickens, what you’ll need to get started and some links to resources to help you out once you’ve got your flock.

Saving Money By Storing Food Article
Looking back on my list of things that I've "meant to blog" for a long time, I found a link I needed to share. A friend of mine, and longtime follower of this blog, Erin McNew wrote an article for Yahoo's associated content site about food storage. I will of course take this chance to tease her for cheating on me, and posting to a different site, especially one that won't allow for me to repost the content. However I may tease though, It's a great article written to explain to people how storing food is a sensible way to save money. Something that most "preppers" understand, especially people usually interested in this blog. However oftentimes people who wouldn't normally figure themselves to be preppers, can still at least get back to some of the basics of previous generations.

Utah Preppers Quoted in Mormon Times Article
A nice piece over at the <a title="Food storage includes more than just food" href="http://www.mormontimes.com/article/17917/Food-storage-includes-more-than-just-food" target="_blank">Mormon Times</a> titled "<a href="http://www.mormontimes.com/article/17917/Food-storage-includes-more-than-just-food?" target="_blank">Food storage includes more than just food</a>" includes a quote by me. While the news source is targeting members of the LDS faith, the article itself is applicable to anybody. Many people get caught up in simply having a certain number of calories, and not thinking about the other aspects of preparedness.
