If you take a little homesteader action every day, you are planting the seeds, sometimes literally, to achieve your dreams. From a huge, well established 1000 acre homestead to the humble 1/6 of an acre yard of weeds, I wasn't going to let my dream and lifestyle die. Taking small, daily steps towards your goals will eventually achieve your dreams.

How to dehydrate Carrots using a dehydrator. Dehydrating Carrot is a good way to preserve some Carrots for Winter cooking. We can grow and buy Carrots all year round in Australia, so it is not the first dehydrating project on the list, however if you have an abundance of Carrots, including fermented Carrots, then you may want to dehydrate some for later use. DEHYDRATING CARROTS PROCESS Wash Carrots, discard top and slice into 4mm pieces / over 1/8 inch Blanche Sliced or Diced

How to Dehydrate Celery in a dehydrator I don't use much Celery, nor do I usually grow it, however when I want some for Winter Stews and Bone Broth, then I don't want to waste what is left in the bunch. Leaving it to wilt in the back of the fridge, until all good intentions of using it are futile, once again, is insanity and a waste of good food. It is also not necessary when it is so easy to dehydrate. It shrinks down so much it takes very little space and you will have Cele

I love all of the seasons! When you are homesteading, whether on 1000 acres or in your back yard, your world revolves around the seasons. The first half of Summer for me is about keeping the garden and animals well hydrated, harvesting the produce, pulling up the garlic, picking zucchini as soon as they are ready, harvesting berries. On my small homestead I only get a small amount of berries every day, so I wash, prepare and freeze what we are not going to eat, so when I have

BABY CHICK HATCHING TIME LAPSE - Chicks Hatch Timelapse Watch some of these fertile Sussex eggs hatch out, they are so sweet once they are dry. Chick 1 hatched out on day 21 and had so much energy, Chick 2 hatched out 27 hours later and Chick 3 hatched out 31.5 hours after chick 1. This small incubator has different temperatures in different parts of the incubator so it is difficult to get an even temperature for hatching out my chicks. I am getting closer to obtaining the c

If you want to start homesteading in a small space like your backyard, to produce food for your family, then you may be surprised at how much you can actually produce in a small space. I came off a gorgeous 1000 acre homestead, in the hills, that had established fruit trees in the orchard, over 100 old fashioned rose bushes and a huge fenced off veggie garden overlooking a stunning creek that widened to a waterhole that watered the whole garden. This garden had been kept tidy

It's extra protein for good egg laying, your Muscovy Ducks love eating the maggots and it can cost you nothing to make. A Maggot bucket is a bucket with a lid; it has drilled holes in the lid and around the sides of the bucket, as well as on the bottom. You place meat scraps or road kill (no bird meat) inside the bucket with the lid securely on
