🐐 Keeping Animals
Eggs, milk, wool, and honey — food and materials that walk to you.
Build pens and fences
Set posts and weave or rail between them so your animals stay in and hungry visitors stay out.
Keep chickens
Build a coop that foxes cannot open, feed the birds your scraps, and collect eggs almost every day.
Keep goats or sheep
Raise the tough animals that turn thorny brush into milk, wool, hides, and more animals.
Milk an animal
With clean hands, a calm animal, and a clean pot, get fresh milk morning and evening.
Make butter and simple cheese
Shake cream until it turns to butter, and let milk sour and drain into soft cheese that keeps longer than milk.
Keep bees for honey
Give a wild swarm a good home and take a fair share of honey and wax without harming them.
Keep animals healthy and raise their young
Give clean water, dry bedding, and a daily look-over, spot one sick animal before the whole flock is, and help at births when needed.
