Chickens

There is a whole lot more to chickens than picking it up at the store to cook for dinner!

Chickens are VERY useful on the farm, and I will share what I have learned along with some tips about them here!

What would YOU like to see me write about?

Recipes

From baking, cooking, canning and wild recipes, you will find it all here!

We don't eat out a whole lot, so I am always trying new things to cook. Some work, some don't! I'll share the ones that WORK here!

Canning

Now this could be a scary topic for some people. I have been canning for over 25 years with my grandmother. If we could eat it, it was canned in a jar.

I will be sharing tips, tricks, recipes and experiences about canning on this page!

Gardening

Some people think it's one of the easiest things to do... There is always a tip or trick out there that we haven't heard of or want to try.

I will be writing about gardens here, and will include my own experiences with it!

Foraging

Learning how and what to gather to eat has been taught in my family for generations. Since I live in the Missouri Ozarks, I will mostly be covering Wild Edibles from my region.

A few words of CAUTION about foraging. Some edible plants have poisonous parts, look a likes that are poisons, and some people may be sensitive to the chemicals in the plats....if you have a doubt about consuming something found in the wild, call your local Conservation Department and/or consult a physician to prevent any other health issues.

Sustainability

Sustainability is VERY important in my opinion.

If you're not sure what it means, here is the definition: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

There are three different tiers to sustainability, but I will be mostly writing about our environment.

Skills

There are many skills you will need while on a farm or homestead. Some skills you may have learned while you were little, growing up or have just learned. Pops (my late grandfather) always told me, "You learn something new everyday, if you didn't, they you weren't paying attention!"
