We used to write for a fermentation website that sold a very similar product! At that size, it's nice that you could do small-scale or experimental fermentation. We have a huge, german-style fermentation

I feel this! My suburban, cry-when-the-fish-died upbringing did not prepare me for how visceral and raw Real Country life is. We've had lots of losses, and even though I "get better" with each

Nothing new under the sun! This reminds me of the chicken fever of the mid 19th century, when "exotic" chickens were also a status symbol. Funnily enough, one of the reasons the Buff Orpington

Haha, making my own clothes is putting it very kindly! That journey is just starting, but I figure I have to make some mistakes before I have it figured out. Both my husband and I had a purge-the-clothes

I figured that people in this corner of the internet might get it! :) And I heard an explanation, once, that the reason women's clothing doesn't have real pockets is so that manufacturers can make more

Appreciate your comment. :) That's the hope!

Once I started getting into fermentation, I was amazed by how useful and versatile it was! I think the efforts to "sanitize" everything have stolen a generation's worth of understanding that,

Thanks for your comment.

I see that patience as an integral part of the lesson, haha! How wonderful to have your kids included in making food--something that won't be forgotten.

It is so good. Also, quite tasty with peanut butter on top, too! Let me know how it goes, haha!

What an interesting thing. Are you a bot or a human? Regardless, I appreciate the comment. :)

Thanks so much! Hope you have a wonderful (almost!) spring day as well. :)

We always appreciate the work you do to highlight the neat stuff that's happening in this funny, homesteading corner of Steemit. Thanks so much for including my recipe in the mix! Helping encourage folks

Aww, I appreciate it. Hope you get the chance to make some!

Mobile homes are built pretty poorly, but they can work as a home-base until your plan materializes! I admit, I used to have somewhat of a stigma against them...until I started living in one. We bought

I've never had dandelion wine, but it's not for lack of interest! It's probably my favorite wild food (though wild spinach/goosefoot is certainly a contender for that title). A bear...sandwich? Can't say

Thanks for such a thorough and helpful comment! That is an excellent tip to add to the list. When we lived in our Cityhouse in Ohio (before the move to our homestead), we were warned about the lead content

Do it! I have been scoping out all the tiny sprouts covering the ground with a hungry eye, excited to finally get some real greens back on our dinner table. Let us know what you find out there!

What a beautiful memory to have and share! I love the exciting, quiet, not-able-to-be-bought adventures that happen in this homesteading life. Wouldn't trade to get the convenience of our former city days,

Yeah, we got a little to excited about the number of cheap plants we could order from the Department of Conservation... :)
