Making homesteading simple
Gardening
Gardening is often seen as an expensive and laborious hobby, but it doesn’t have to be. Reusing materials that would otherwise go to waste, seed saving, and companion planting are just some of the methods I use to garden sustainably.
These methods not only combat pests, but give the garden the ability to thrive in a condensed space and provide food for native pollinators.
Cooking and Baking
Cooking and baking from scratch can feel daunting at first compared to buying box mixes and pre-packaged freezer meals. And while there is nothing wrong with these meals, there is a sense of pride I have in cooking from scratch.
I share my successful recipes here so that you can skip the experimental cooking phase and get delicious dishes with a little effort.
Crafting
Crafting serves not only as a fun hobby but also as a means to make your own clothing items for each season of the year.
I love sharing simple crochet, knitting, and sewing patterns so that you can make garments for yourself or as gifts to others.
