Editorial Policy

How Homestead & Small Farm researches guides, handles food safety, animal health and local rules, and keeps humor separate.

Sources

Extension services, USDA, NCHFP and other public agencies. Each guide lists them.

Food preservation

We never publish processing times, pressures, temperatures or altitude adjustments. We point to the National Center for Home Food Preservation and extension.

Animals

Education only. Talk to your vet.

Local rules

Zoning, permits, water, tax and sales rules are local. We say who to ask and never state them from memory.

Humor

Family-friendly humor lives on farm.FM and appears only in a labeled band.
