Homesteading

While bad weather seems to have cut a swatch from California to Minnesota, we escaped and the bees and I both used the time productively.

Our bees are off to a strong start thanks to warm weather. That could be good or it could be bad, but it definitely requires management.

We've been homesteading for two years now. We've made some mistakes and learned some lessons that might help you in the future.

Just because its cold, snowy and windy doesn't mean there isn't work to be done. Thankfully, much of it can be done inside.

Are your chickens laying normally this winter? Some are blaming a lack of eggs on Tractor Supply. Here's what to do if your egg production is down.

Homesteading takes investment of time ad money. Sometimes it is planned; other times it catches you by surprise.

The blizzard behind us, the warm temperatures provide relief for people and livestock and a chance to do homestead chores.

We are preparing for winter, the possibility of sub-zero temperatures, and a Christmas Blizzard. Are you prepper for that?

The cold is giving us a rest as outdoor chores dwindle and we have time to relax and step back from the demands of homesteading.

Nothing like running out of water when you have a house full of people. Because we have spare parts on hand, we got back up and running quickly.
