10 green retro activities making a comeback: Frontier skills

I am intrigued by beekeeping. We gave cheesemaking a small scale kid project effort once upon a time. It seemed expensive for not a great end result (edible cheese but not swoon worthy) --so I never got more into it. I might give it a try again--in that dream future with a family cow and milk goat. Acorn processing sounds enticing as does shoe making. What would you like to learn to do along these lines?

I would love to keep bees, but can't where I live. I do make my own bread and muffins and am toying with the adventures of canning. My husband is interested in brewing his own beer, and I want to try to make hard cider and wine.
I've made hard cider by accident. Does that count? Beer brewing is a fun hobby from what I've observed. Perhaps a starter kit from you as a holiday gift is in order?
