Shake the Tree & Feed for Free: A Fodder Guide Rooted in Permaculture

By Victoria Reicheneker

"Shake the Tree & Feed for Free: A Fodder Guide Rooted in Permaculture" is an educational reference designed to help homesteaders, farmers, and livestock owners move away from commercial feed reliance by creating sustainable, regenerative, fodder systems. The book explores how permaculture principles can be applied to grow and harvest a diverse range of fodder - Including trees, shrubs, herbs, flowers, grasses, grains, and alternative options to nourish the animals while improving the land.

It's a practical in-depth guide that not only covers plant selection and management but also includes strategies for extending harvests, preserving surplus, and rotating animals through a balanced fodder system. Whether you are raising poultry, goats, cattle, pigs and more unique animals like yaks and emu this book provides clear, actionable steps to reduce feed costs, increase self-sufficiency, and regenerate your soil. Plus, it's grounded in real-life experience, with insights from our journey at Dreamweavers Permaculture, where we're applying these systems on our own 10+ acre food forest project.

If you are passionate about sustainable agriculture, animal welfare, and working in harmony with nature Shake the Tree & Feed for Free will give you the tools and confidence to build a resilient thriving homestead not just for today, but for tomorrow.
