High Five for the High Tunnel Build!

I should probably just stay off of FaceBook & Instagram pages that have to do with farming and stop watching any YouTube channels that have to do with farming. You see, the problem is that all of a sudden you need something that you had no idea ... continue reading...

Master Bedroom Made New!

The master bedroom was one of those rooms that caused us excessive use of the tape measure and pencil to paper and I might have even knocked my head in to a 2x4 a few times {on purpose}!  We had an extremely steep & dangerous basement staircase ... continue reading...

IT’S HERE!!! What a blessing to be able to share IT’S HERE!!! What a blessing to be able to share just a bit about our homesteading journey!  Go grab a copy of the Dec/Jan issue of Mother Earth News Magazine!  One thing I learned for sure is that your “voice” just isn’t 100% yours when editors do “their thing”… man, this barely scratched the surface of our journey… I could write a book {***🤔***}, but I sure am grateful and blessed for this opportunity and they were SO wonderful to work with!

High Five for our High Tunnel build! Check out th High Five for our High Tunnel build!  Check out the BLOG POST {link in profile}. Our first season growing in a high tunnel was a huge success!  Not that there weren’t many challenges {that comes with the territory}; however it was a success because it was our first time/season and we learned A LOT and we did manage to harvest quite a bit! The best thing that we grew were cucumber beetles, squash beetles and army worms, lol! {organic gardening ain’t easy!!!} Btw, we love @Farmersfriend tunnels!

Canning season is over and the piles of huge lids Canning season is over and the piles of huge lids and rings have taken over your kitchen, right?!?!... I LOVE to re-purpose them by stringing them over the gardens and chicken runs along with some scrap ribbons! Why, you ask???... it keeps the birds 🐦 out of the gardens and the hawks 🦅 out of the chicken runs... not to mention it looks cute 😊which makes me smile 😍! What do you do with your used lids and bands? @pratt_family_homestead is busy sorting theirs too!
