Buying local when it comes to food is always a good idea, but it's even better from a reputable farmer. However, there's a fine line when it comes to prices and the realistic profit you, as a homesteader/farmer, can expect to make and what you, as a consumer, are expected and willing to pay. We may or may not have had an experience recently along this theme... so we invite you to join us as we tell, "The Doleful Tale of the Unicorn Chicken."

Let's talk about... Budgeting. Are you thinking, "that's a big topic for episode three...?" Well, so are we! But, it's a topic that's super important in the homesteading world. How do you afford land? How do you afford animals? How do you afford to live? We'll dive into the topic of Homestead Businesses another time, but this episode is all about how to structure your monthly budget and how to save up for those big purchases or that "oh sh*t!" fund! So, come and join us for the money talk, the homestead version.

Goodbye store-bought fertilizers & soil bags. Hello homemade, nutrient-dense goodness! Even if you don't have chickens or ducks, there are multiple ways you can feed your soil organically for the season-changing garden reset. And if you're like me, we had to learn what actually grew in the colder months of the year and quickly discovered how delicious it all can be! It took a few years, but we finally figured out how to make a successful (& prolific!) annual garden from our chicken/duck poop compost. So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage (ours was tea on this first chilly night of the year) and join us for a little homestead garden chat! We're so glad you're here.

What makes a homestead? Is it the garden? Is it the animals? Is it the people? Is what you do or how you do it? We sat down to think about it one afternoon after lunch, while our toddler absolutely refused to nap. So, join us! And let us know in the comments- What Do You Think Makes a Homestead?
