Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Tony Marzolino <tmarzolino@yahoo.com>]

Hello Rhoda,
I live in upstate NY and we always use/have the following:
- An area for them them to run and root. About 1 acre, but I am sure you could use less.
- A source of food.  Lately we have been coordinating with a local produce grower and using his excess/moldy stuff.  Toward the five month mark, they need a lot of food.  We usually supplement with hominy and slaughter at around 6 months.

Hope that helps.  We currently have five and they are eating squash, apples, corn, and potatoes.  Potatoes worked best if cooked.  We use our wood stove.
