Hey, friends! How is everyone? It’s the first day of Spring, so let’s celebrate that!!
If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I have a passion for homesteading. It’s something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I started out by learning how to bake my own breads, canning, and container gardening. With several recent moves under our belts, we aren’t quite as far into the process as we hoped. We moved much later last year than initially planned, so we didn’t get a garden in the ground or chickens in the coop. We do have our seeds bought and soil, so we are going to get that going very soon.
I thought that I would share my favorite homesteading accounts for those of you who are wanting to gain some homesteading skills. The list is small, but they have offered so much information! Don’t overwhelm yourself.
The Prairie Homestead— my mom introduced me to Jill’s youtube channel last year. She is so good at explaining everything. She recently started a podcast and published a cookbook. Her cookbook is so much more than recipes and I honestly cannot recommend it enough!!
The Elliott Homestead— Shaye is where I first started when learning about homesteading. She isn’t just passionate about farming, but also beautiful things. Her flower gardens are always so beautiful. Her home is so cozy. Their youtube channel is really great, and so is her book Welcome to the Farm.
Homesteaders of America— this one is new to me. Starting on Monday, they are going to do a “how to grow your own food” series on YouTube based on Victory Gardens. I’m so excited to learn more!!
Homesteading does not have to be done on a huge plot of land. All you need is a kitchen. Start by learning how to bake a loaf of bread. Start with a fresh herb plant. Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to learn everything at once.
