We’re new to the homestead!!🌷🦆

2025/3/21 Edited to

... Read moreStarting a homestead can be an exciting and fulfilling journey, especially in spring when nature awakens. Many new homesteaders opt for raising poultry, such as ducklings, which are not only adorable but also provide benefits like pest control and fresh eggs. It's essential to research best practices for duck care, including proper housing, diet, and socialization. As you settle into your new homestead, consider planting a garden to supplement your meals and create a serene outdoor environment. Homeschooling in a homestead setting can also foster a strong family bond, allowing children to learn about agriculture, responsibility, and sustainability. Many homesteaders share their tips and experiences on social media platforms, creating supportive communities that can help you navigate the challenges of off-grid living. Embrace the adventure and enjoy the simplicity and strength that comes from living closer to the land.

Disclaimer. I want to say this is just personal choices I have made for me, and am in no way saying you need to do this. Do whatever works for you and your family! 1.) I was raised pretty low tox when I was a child. We raised our own food, had our own livestock, and hunted. 2.) my mother died

From Homeless to Homestead 🙌🏽
🗣️ Say it with me: “I am blessed and highly favored!” This life didn’t fall into our laps overnight. Before this land, these chickens, and this season of stability, we lived nomadically on faith for 18 months. We hopped from other people’s homesteads, trading labor for a place to rest our heads.
