Going the Extra Mile to Raise Healthy Animals
In today’s Vlog (I post a few times a week on our community pages) I talk about how we intentionally raise our animals to be healthier and produce nutrient dense meat and eggs. In this video I use rabbits as an example but the principle applies to all our animals – hogs, chickens, goats, etc. […]
Planning Earthworks
When you have a homestead, the work is never really done. We run our homestead using permaculture principles which requires earth works. Different times of year and different weather allow us to see how everything is functioning. This year we finally had the opportunity to evaluate the work we did last year, particularly regarding water. […]
Water Analysis VLOG
In this VLOG I walk around the property and conduct some water analysis. I love to walk in the rain and watch how and where the water flows. You can learn a lot by thoughtfully observing water on your land in order to tell how to best utilize it as a resource. Water is life […]
Homesteading – Grit & Resolve
A few months ago we podcasted and blogged about the important subject of preparing to homestead. We even wrote an Ebook with accompanying worksheets walking you through the steps we talk about to help get you ready for the big move. Since then we (and many other old-time homesteaders we’ve spoken to) have seen people […]

It is the thing that makes homesteading the most real. Reasons for Processing Animals […]

We start by talking about some very important principles to guide your plan: observe, start at the highest point, start small and simple, slow, spread and soak water, manage overflow and treat like a resources and more… Within those principles we talk […]
Building Community
I’ve been having a tough time focusing this winter. Spring seems to be coming sooner than expected, we decided to take a variety of continuing education classes this year, and, as usual, we have to run the day-to-day activities of an active homestead, house, and homeschooling children. Fortunately our kids are willing workers which significantly […]
Why make a plan?
Some days it’s difficult to wrap our minds around everything we need to do, want to do and should do! Our list seems to be never-ending (as most Homesteading Entrepreneurs know)! It’s easy to get overwhelmed by that list and by real life that constantly requires our attention! These are the times we have to […]
