Chickens lay in winter, with 20 hens we get 5-8 eggs a day. Just rotate fresh hens each year. When cold feed them wheat it helps them stay warm and lay. Old breeds like dorkings lay same all year but less eggs.
Have fuel for digging out we had 2 feet of snow without plows and blowers it takes days to dig out or 3 hours.
Look up a green house called a wapini, good in cold weather. Use solar wrap plastic for added heat, use a compost pile and mass heater and you can grow year round in -40c.
Learn to make mass heaters 50 percent better wood efficiency. Make the pieces from clay/concrete metal don’t stand up as well keeping
