Learning to be self sufficient while embracing technology, sustainability, permaculture, whole foods

I plan on sharing my whole homesteading experience on here. Everything I learn both successes and failures. Will also share the food I make and eventually recipes! Looking to follow and learn from other homesteaders on this platform 🤝🏻

I have so many ideas for the homestead

[Griffin @OnwardAcres]

Adding Solar Kiln to the list of things I must have on my homestead

We recently got into making our own spices and this would be perfect for not only drying peppers for spices, but also drying wood

Good morning, get out there grow your own food!

Start small and work your way up ☕️

[Griffin @OnwardAcres]

The significantly noticeable difference between our cayenne pepper and store bought absolutely blew our minds

After tasting the difference, we decided we want to make as many of our own spices as possible in the future

It is such a noticeable difference in texture, color and taste

[Griffin @OnwardAcres]

We had about 3 cayenne pepper plants this year

I love growing all kinds of peppers so I had no real plan with what to do with these

We harvested the bulk of them, pulled out the dehydrator and let them dehydrate on 165 for 10 hours

Grinded them up and made our own cayenne pepper seasoning!

I’m very grateful to be in this position in my 20s

I pray it will all workout according to plan

[Griffin @OnwardAcres]

We’ve been renting this homestead from my uncle this past year

we are looking to close on it by the EOY

it’s looking like it’s going to workout, but my stomach has been turning in anticipation to make this land officially mine

[Griffin @OnwardAcres]

I truly believe buying this homestead will be the single best decision I ever make

it’s rural, but not too far from a ‘big city’

i’m getting married next year then we want to start a family right away

this is the perfect environment to raise some good kids in an ever growing disconnected world

the homestead as of this week

[Griffin @OnwardAcres]

I’m thinking of streaming the work I do around the farm here on X

would do it after my day job maybe 2-3 times a week for 2-4 hours

just a thought, gonna consider it
