Our garden is the centerpiece of the homestead. We grow all the vegetables we eat in it over a year. Gardening is fun but not always easy, so I’m sharing my almost 20 years of intensive gardening experience with you here!
Preserving food is a great skill to learn. There are a lot of ways to preserve food, like canning, dehydration, freeze drying, freezing, salt curing, or fermentation.
Whether you’re homesteading on open land or in the suburbs, you can build the skills you need. These tutorials are here to guide you every step of the way.
Holidays are special days of celebration, reflection, or observance that bring people together through traditions, festivities, and cultural or religious significance.
Bring the best of farm-style cooking into your own kitchen. You can enjoy hearty, homemade meals no matter where you live.
I share practical homesteading skills, from-scratch recipes, and simple heartland wisdom to help you live a slower, more meaningful life. Everything here is rooted in self-sufficiency and seasonal living, from backyard gardens to preservation tips, holiday traditions to DIY projects. Pull up a chair—we’re making the most of every season, one jar, one recipe, and one memory at a time.
