I was blown away by this invention. It’s called “Farm Bot” and it is probably the future of home food production. While it looks like it might be a little more advanced (and expensive) than the average gardener / hobbyist can handle, it is interesting to see what these inventors were capable of creating. One of the things I really like about it is how it is “open-source”, meaning they give their plans and software away for free. So that others can freely learn from them or contribute to the project.
If you want to learn more about Farm Bot, you can visit their site here. The creators of the Farm Bot have given readers of Homesteader Depot and exclusive coupon code for $50 off!. Use the coupon code: 50-OFF to claim your savings.

Now, in the video they prep all of the steaks using a sous vide method. Which I happen to think is a little over the top and unnecessary. I think you can accomplish the same thing by letting your steaks get to room temperature and then popping them in the oven @ 400 F for 10-12 minutes. But, if you want to go the extra mile, there is a link below for sous vide cooker.
And the winner is? The chimney starter method. This is something I have seen a few other steak aficionados do but have never personally tried it. It looks like it makes a delicious crust on your steak. I will have to give it a shot this weekend.
