Time for a morning steam! Sauna is a perfect way to start the day. It gives you a chance to sweat out the stress and toxins, and face the day a new man.

Only 100' away from the chipper. Why can't the animals ever come this close when you have a gun and a license???? Guess I'll start hunting next to the equipment.

Tire chains, snow, ice, and sub zero temps....it officially winter folks.

@durandcompton Definitely leaning towards the barred rocks. Thanks!

Chickens and rabbits are at the top of the list for animals this spring. What's your guys favorite breeds and why? I have experience with a few different breeds, but I want some more opinions. Keep in mind that we live in a very cold climate. Thanks.

Harley's always right there with us in the way or trying to find a stick for us to throw....or taking a nap while we take a break. #puppies #dogs #farm #homesteading #homestead

Time for a steam. Up in the U.P. there is a sauna culture. If you don't like saunas, we don't like you... only thing worse is if you pronounced sauna like it was spelled 🤣🙃🤣

@durandcompton Nice! Heard those Kubotas are a good tractor.

[Five_Pillar_Farms @FivePillarFarms]

Spent last night teaching Crissa how to run the tractor. She was a natural. We have an old 1952 Ford 860. For those of you who have a tractor, what kind do you have? Post a pic or recommendations so I can scan marketplace for a new toy. 🙃

@mi8098402 @HomesteadingBnd Do it! Only got one life, right?!

[Five_Pillar_Farms @FivePillarFarms]

@NickCatranis O wow. I'll definitely be looking into that.

[Five_Pillar_Farms @FivePillarFarms]

Had all the in-laws up for Thanksgiving. Midnight rolled around, and lo and behold, the toilet was overflowing, and the tub was full of water. Septic was filled to the brim. Which we found out was an old 275-gallon fuel oil tank. Brother-in-law was kind enough to lend a hand.

[Five_Pillar_Farms @FivePillarFarms]

@NickCatranis Thanks. We're in the U.P. Michigan's upper peninsula.

[Five_Pillar_Farms @FivePillarFarms]

Our little piece of paradise! Crissa and I (Austin) just about a month ago purchased the 80 acres that will be Five Pillar Farms. We have a lot of work ahead of us and a lot of learning. Follow along on our adventures!

@Mathew_of_LWFAH Ain't that the truth. In the middle of a blizzard out our way.
