Marjory Wildcraft is the mom in a family of four.  We live in a rural community in Central Texas.  Our family became very concerned of the possibility of the collapse of the systems we normally depend upon for food and water.  We began in earnest to develop methods for conserving water, growing food, and generally becoming free of the collective systems for basic needs.  Our backgrounds were in engineering and business, with only a small amount of agricultural experience.  Along the way we've taken every opportunity to gain skills which includes certification in Permaculture Design, Citizen Forrester, homesteading workshops, gardening workshops, farm visits, wild crafting, primitive skills, and herbalism. 

We have implemented and experimented with a variety of food production techniques drawn from organic farming, permaculture, agroforestry, indigenous teachings, historical anecdotes, and relief work in developing countries.  Our emphasis has always been on developing systems with the highest productivity, yet needing the least amount of work, fertility, and/or water.  The kids also demand the food is pretty tasty too.  

The video is shot on our family homestead.  We depend on these systems to grow a significant part of our diet.  The climate and soils of Central Texas provide many challenges, this is a tough region to grow in.  Although there may be some differences in your region, the principles are universal.
