Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop. A weekly gathering for homesteaders and simple living enthusiasts. We all share DIY projects, from-scratch recipes, and creative inspiration from our homes to yours.
This week’s hop features yummy foods. It also offers practical ideas that celebrate handmade living and self-sufficiency. Explore ideas that fit a thoughtful, sustainable lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking for seasonal crafts, homemade treats, or encouragement on your homesteading journey, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to carry into the upcoming seasons.
Grab a cup of tea, explore the featured posts, and join us in sharing your own homestead creations.
On a Personal Note:
It’s feeling like Fall, almost freezing at nights, and we’re closing up the garden in stages.
Last week I dug up our sweet potatoes that we grew from slips we made. While we didn’t get a ton, we got enough for a little while and I’m glad that now I know we can grow our own slips if we want to.
I’m working on digging potatoes, which is a little slow, but I’m looking forward to seeing how they grew! So far they’re small, and it tells me our soil does need some work.
AdThis week we’ve got an excavator here working on some projects to make our homestead more productive and less of a pain when it rains. Greg used a jackhammer along the driveway to break up the rocks preventing water from draining, which should help the driveway when it rains.
More dirt work today! It’s exciting to see big things happen.
Have a great day!
