Homesteading
Welcome
Homesteading isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning, adapting, and finding joy in the process of doing things yourself. This blog series is a reflection of that path. You'll find stories, experiments, and ideas from life on the land, where every season teaches something new.
Here, you’ll find practical projects, old skills brought back to life, and new ways of thinking about self-reliance. Whether you’re building a fence, rendering tallow, canning garden surplus, or dealing with a compost pile that’s gone a little sideways, this space is for you.
What works on one homestead might flop on another. That’s part of the beauty. These blogs don’t hand out rules—they offer observations, options, and a little encouragement. Because homesteading isn’t about doing everything, it’s about doing what matters most in a way that fits your life.
So if you’re looking for grounded guidance, thoughtful reflection, and a reminder that you’re not in this alone, you’re in the right place.
Pull up a chair. Let’s get to work.

Spring brings rain, renewal—and the perfect opportunity to reset your garden’s microbiome.

Includes recipes, timing tips, and how to sync applications with the weather.
