Why grandma saved her bacon grease...

The price of fuel, the cost of food…...not to mention the hours it takes just to make it home with food for the week. Anyone else feeling the weight on the pocket book at the store??? Yes! I need help! It wasn't until my husband said "you do realise these prices are here to stay" that the penny dropped for me.... Let me cut it to you straight.... With the food index steadily rising, people are starting to remember how their grandparents washed their aluminum foil, saved their bacon grease and...

Hey there, It's been a few weeks since the launch of the Homestead Documentary and we've enjoyed reading all your comments. One of the things many of you expressed was your interest in feeding your family healthier food and learning how to make delicious homemade food for your family. It's why we wanted to extend an invite to you for a very special free class I'm doing LIVE this week (~Melissa). If you’ve tried to make sourdough bread in the past but failed, I have a secret to tell you… It...

Hi Reader, Wow, what a whirlwind of a week! Thank you to everyone who came to the Season 2 premiere of The Homestead Documentary and who purchased the full season during the past few days.

Hi Reader, Have you ever watched a documentary or a series on Netflix or Magnolia Network and thought, “Wow, how did they make this?” We’ll tell you how - they got funding. Most documentaries or series are made on their own and then pitched or sold to a larger network for distribution. (There are definitely times when the studio produces the content themselves, but this isn’t the case most of the time.) Why are we telling you this? Because we want to make more homesteading content like this!...

Hi Reader, Do you ever wake up and wonder what in the world the world is coming to? For me, it’s what’s accepted as “safe” food, copious amounts of high fructose corn syrup, food dyes, who knows what preservatives, cattle fed solely on grain, yet it’s illegal (yes, illegal) to purchase raw milk in certain states. In fact, many homesteaders feel this way. They see where society is going, and they said, “No. I don’t want that.” Every crop grown, every chicken raised, every bread loaf made from...

Hi Reader, Are you more resourceful than your average Joe? Have you never met a problem you couldn’t solve or figure out? Do you get that burst of satisfaction finding a creative solution for something that seemed impossible? If so, you’re in good company. Homesteaders are some of the most resourceful, problem-solving, and creative people we’’ve ever met. There are no obstacles they can’t figure out. We just get so inspired meeting other homesteaders because we know what kind of person they...

Hi Reader, There are moments in life where everything just feels right. You’re awake at dawn, breathing in the fresh morning air. It’s just you and the outside. Or you’re sitting at the table with family, laughing and happy, enjoying a delicious meal together. Or you’re elbows-deep in soil, covered in dirt and sweat, and as you stand up to take a breather, a gentle breeze floats by, rustling the tree leaves and cooling your skin. Those are the simple moments that make life sweet, don’t you...

Hi Reader, Do you know where your food comes from? We aren’t talking about which local grocery store you use… We mean which chicken butt did that egg come from? And what did that chicken eat? What’s her name? We’re in a health crisis in our country (and most of the “civilized” world. Heart problems, diabetes, stomach acid, low energy. The list goes on. The solution? FOOD. Whole food. Natural food. Food raised and grown yourself (or by a neighbor). We simply aren’t made to eat processed,...
