Hi, we're Josh and Carolyn and we want to invite you to come along with us as we share our homesteading life. It is our goal to encourage you on the path to a more healthy, more secure, and free lifestyle by sharing and teaching the skills that lead to greater sustainability and self-sufficiency for you, your loved ones, and your community.
The homestead is easing into the rhythms of winter. That means wintering the garden, stocking the pantry, attending to animals, slowing down and nurturing relationships with family and friends.
Now, more than ever, building up a well-stocked and functional food storage system is a key skill and resource everyone should be developing. Whether you want one month, one year, or 25 years of emergency food, here are our tips for buying, organizing, and storing.
Preserving homemade food is an art form that many of us have never been taught. Here you’ll find answers for preserving food naturally and healthfully including preservation tutorials and recipes. (For canning videos, see our "Canning" playlist.)
If you're thinking about buying property in the country, or in a rural area, there are things to know BEFORE you buy. Let us share from our years of experience what to look for before you buy, what to do as soon as you buy, and how to maintain your property for best success.
It's just so tedious! Or is it? Josh and Carolyn share how to simplify composting, on a small and large scale, and how to reap the benefits of soil that is alive! Regenerative farming techniques are better for your garden and the environment, not to mention can produce vegetables and fruit so packed with flavor that you'll be eating them right off the vine!
Everyone loves a garden tour! Come see how our gardens are growing throughout the spring, summer, and fall months, including many of our most helpful gardening tips and tricks.
