Proper protocols for newbies

A great part of this title is that it includes the accompanying text in the app which is immensely helpful when absorbing the information needed to create healthy, organic produce where you know where it is coming from. In addition, one thing I really liked about this audio title was that they also pack in a huge amount of knowledge regarding proper protocols when raising healthy animals that will supply your plate for the foreseeable future, and again, you know where it’s coming from! Not like store bought products. This would be an excellent first-time beginner’s listen for anyone looking to put in the work to make sure they know where their food is coming from and who desires to be self-sustainable in a day and age where we rely so heavily on supermarkets to take care of us.
