Homesteading

These home and garden projects focus around homesteading and being more self sufficient. Learn more about gardening, build planters, a coop, or a barn for your farm animals, and live a more ecofriendly life.

This blog focuses a lot on maintaining a balance between modern America and living in the suburbs of a high population area with my desire to try to live a more environmentally friendly and self sufficient life. We try to make food from scratch, garden, and make clothing, toys,and more from scratch when possible. We also upcycle heavily.
