I care about what’s going on in the world…I really do. But I can’t stay there.

We each have a choice to make…to focus on the hard things around us or to focus on the beauty around us. I choose the beauty.

Traditional skills are valuable even if we don’t use them every single day.🍁

One of my favorite ways of saving time on the homestead is direct seeding!

I’ve even done experiments where I started some of my cucumbers and squash inside then planted these seedlings next to hills of cucumbers and squash that I planted straight i...

The lifestyle we live requires so much salt!😄 I’ve been using Redmond Real salt for 20 plus years now! I’ve used it to salt butter, make cheese, brine pickles, and make every baked good imaginable!

As a person who’s struggled with adrenal fatigue, t...

Don’t get me wrong guys, I value hard work! Kids thrive on hard work and routines. But there’s an old quote that goes something like this, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

I know people who have been very turned off by the line of work ...

One of my passions is to show people that growing food doesn’t have to completely consume your life.

It’s possible to live a relatively normal life and still be living closely to the land. We were designed to live this way.

Growing food can be done...

Simplicity is everything. When we first started homesteading, we wanted to do it all! But we tried…and failed.🙃
We’ve learned to prioritize and do fewer things better. Because we’ve simplified our garden and animals, we’ve learned to do each individu...

Not all natural products work. That’s the blunt truth. I’ve been using natural products for years now… and some of them are very nontoxic BUT simply don’t get the job done.😏

Pronounce has been a game changer in my home. This company is incredibly tr...

The food that I put in my mouth is my responsibility. I have a choice. We all have a choice.

Not all of us can live off the land like we choose to, but we can all vote with our dollar and choose foods that heal rather than foods that damage our hea...

I love having shelf stable foods in large amounts in my basement! Even before we owned land, I kept buckets of dried goods in my basement apartment.

Especially for organic and high-quality ingredients, it saves SO much money buying in bulk versus bu...

My cold room is what allows me to grow a massive quantity of food. If I had to can and preserve all of this food, I would have to majorly scale down in my food production.

These crops that we grow in large amounts are the foundation of our food supp...

Burnout is in my opinion the biggest threat to small farmers and homesteaders.

Homesteaders are some of the most hard-working people I know. They’re tough, determined, and willing to get up and try again over and over. And this is a wonderful thing...

I grow more variety than these 10 things in my garden every year, but these are the veggies that I heavily depend on and grow the most of!

Everyone’s preferences are different. Which veggies, in your opinion, did I miss?

[Michelle Knox @morethanfar7e9f]

Trully nourishing my family with food that we grew and raised with our own hands is one of my greatest joys in life. It’s lots of hard work, but it’s fulfilling work. And there’s nothing I’d rather be doing!☺️
