Jars of canned food on top of a towel resting on the stove. Hard include 3 jars Spiced Nectarines, Peaches in Syrup, and Green Beans

Ya know - we are always surprising ourself! We canned these great foods, adding star anise to each jar & setting intentions. Also replaced the bolts & wax ring on the toilet upstairs. What can’t we do?

A piece of rosemary bread covered in jam on a plate

The jam I made earlier has strawberries, dried plums, & dried blueberries. It turned out so good. I added ginger, cinnamon & cardamom. It smells so floral, almost like rose. I’m so tickled with this 🌸

Even in uncertain times, local farmers are focused on making produce affordable Two local farmers share how they're trying to offset costs for their customers, despite cuts to food benefits at the state and federal levels.

Local #farmers are #heroes.

And so are the #immigrants they employ.

Take care of one another. 💙

Say hello to Marigold, our silliest backyard hen. If you want backyard chickens, I would strongly recommend a Salmon Faverolle. These birds are the clowns of the flock and will keep you entertained for hours, plus produce small, delicious eggs 🍳

I learned how to make my own organic vegan butter! This means I won’t be buying those plastic tubs anymore. My goal is to make most everything homemade so there is less plastic that goes into the landfill. #DYI #frugal #vegan #sustainability #green #urbanhomesteading

Late June is here, which means it’s time for Saskatoon berries (AKA Juneberries, AKA Serviceberries)! Today, I harvested two quarts, with more ripe berries ready in a week. Just enough to make four 1/2 pints of jam.

This is our first year growing Bunea Mulata (Capsicum anuum) and they are already living up to their reputation as heavy producer.

I started these plants from seeds in the winter and used a grow tent to give them a head start.

Happy gardening!

Hand holding 2 strawberries. In the background is a raised garden bed with strawberry plants growing. The garden bed is encased in chicken wire to thwart squirrels and birds who would like to nibble at the crop of strawberries.

Gradually getting closer to my goal of living off the land.

I love making my own naturally carbonated Water Kefir every week for pennies. It only takes a few minutes to make with SCOBY kefir grains, cane sugar, molasses, & filtered water. This probiotic drink is healthy for your gut and strengthens your immune system! #urbanhomesteading #DIY #wellness

I go away for 5 days and it feels like all the plantlings have grown twice their size. Plants continue to breathe hope into my days despite all the... *gestures vaguely at the universe*

Random #FYI: Black cherry trees can grow up to 50-80ft. tall, & spread about 30-60ft so .... yeah.

Also random - might have to buy out the neighbors to our SE, SW, and NW ...🫣🤪

I was SUPER excited to harvest my first baby carrot today! I’ve been enjoying 4 or 5 homegrown cherry tomatoes daily for the past week! My shallots, microgreens, lemon squash, and watermelon radishes are coming along. I also made my own Gochugaru chile oil!

Fascism continues but this bleeding heart plant is one of my favorite parts of the garden. The golden leaves have a real glow about them.

A mulched over yard with multiple raised beds, young fruit trees, a cattle panel trellis, and a greenhouse.

Ridding the front yard of grass has taken over a year, but it's finally starting to come together. Now to get the medicinal herb garden going in the keyhole bed.
