Merritt Garden brings back the self-sufficient food-growing methods American families used before the supermarket.

Root cellars. Victory gardens. Backyard chickens. Seed saving. Harvests that last all winter without a freezer.

This is how our grandparents fed a family on a small patch of land — no chemicals, no expensive equipment, no dependence on a store. Every video takes one old method and breaks it into clear, practical steps you can start this weekend.

Here you'll find backyard food forests, perennial vegetables, raised beds and deep-bed growing, composting and soil building, natural pest control, seed saving, food preservation and canning, small livestock, and month-by-month planting guides.

If you want to grow more of your own food and depend on the store a little less, subscribe.

New videos every week.
