The native amaranth is a species of Nototrichium, called kulu’i in Hawaiian. Very rare plant. I’m glad it’s doing so well. Everything looks so good and forest-like.
Right now it’s a pretty low percentage: maybe 10-15%. I don’t plan on getting to 100% unless it’s out of necessity because there are certain things like rice, beans and wheat that are way too labor intensive and are relatively cheap to buy. I do want to get to nearly 100% of our produce though and definitely 100% of our fruit. The challenge isn’t just growing it but harvesting, processing, storing, etc. My wife and I both work multiple jobs so we are far from being able to homestead right now. Thank you for the great question and for watching! 🤙
Incredible diversity… So many options and so little time!
thanks for the update and good luck to you and your rabbits in 2023 (the year of the rabbit!)

What percent of your food do you grow? Do you plan on getting to 100%?
