I had several blogs on several topics and then I realized….why??? This is my life and I want to share my passion for gardening, growing our own food, canning and preserving our own food, sustainable agriculture, raising chickens, and our love for family and our dog. I want to bring back the art of canning to families and the joy of sitting around the dinner table eating a wonderful dinner that everyone in one way or another got involved in. Lets face it in this day and age its not easy to accomplish these goals but I will share some ways in which I get our kids involved! My husband and I are often involved in new projects of our own making! Come join us on our journey!
Talk to you soon!

One of the nicest looking homesteading blogs I have reviewed thus far. We have five acres in the country where we will be homesteading but currently live in town. My daughter keeps a pair of rabbits in town and would like to have some chickens, I will have to let her look at your blog because I love the chicken coop!
My wife is also wanting to learn to can so ill send her by for a look to.
Good job. Watch for a review on my blog.

Michael thanks so much for the compliment! I really try to keep it real and relevant! I will be doing more canning posts.

Thanks again!

Anna thank you so much! That means a lot!
Do you mind telling us what part of the country you live in? I live in Central FL and find the gardening tips of others don’t quite work down here.
We live in the Coastal North Carolina area….we are in zone 7B…how about you?
Zone 9A.
Bonnie you probably start planting before me and finish up before me. When I my garden is over my friends up north are getting their crops in 🙂

Hello, I would like to email you privately with a few questions. May I email you?
Thank you,
Sure I emailed you my addie!
I have NEVER canned anything, but I tried my sister-in-law’s canned salsa, and it was fantastic! I look forward to reading your posts.
Salsa is one of my favorite canned items! I am self taught and I learned mostly by reading the ball book back before the internet now teaches us everything!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I need to explore your blog for salsa recipes!
I’m not sure I have it posted but if I don’t I will soon.
I do not know where this homestead is located and cannot compare with weather conditions in the Mid Atlantic region where I garden. I have a small hoop house which is almost always warmer than outdoors. It grows wonderful greens all winter. I want a bigger one. I also have found that winters have been less cold and I have cabbage, endive, and a few herbs (oregano, parsley, and rosemary) alive and well in late January 2013
