I’ve been thinking about writing about this for quite a while, but honestly, I’ve been more than a little nervous to admit my showering habits… Or lack thereof… Then, I came across this story recently (thank you, Facebook!): Some people have all but abandoned the idea of soap, shampoo and deodorant and yet still manageContinue reading “To ‘poo or not to ‘poo…”

While acres and acres of farmable land lie fallow..
Many of you know we moved to Pennsylvania for Tripp’s job. We chose Bucks County because it is in the middle of the two offices at which he will be working over the course of the next few years. As anyone who as been here will tell you, Bucks County, PA is beautiful. Rolling hills,Continue reading “While acres and acres of farmable land lie fallow..”
Book Review: The Dirty Life
I am not ashamed to admit that I consider Audio Books just as good as reading an actual book, especially when a person is so busy (or tired) s/he cannot sit still for even 15 minutes (without falling asleep). So I often listen to audio books to keep my sanity while driving, doing the dishes,Continue reading “Book Review: The Dirty Life”
Homesteading Hack #1
I think of Homesteading Hacks as little tidbits of knowledge that can be used to make our homesteading experiences more enjoyable. Sometimes that means a hack saves us money, sometimes it saves us time, sometimes it does BOTH! This one is especially useful for renters – we use Command Damage-Free Hooks to hang all thoseContinue reading “Homesteading Hack #1”
Oatmeal
I have been making oatmeal the Sally Fallon way for almost a year now, but today I tried my first variation on the simply delicious recipe. As the recipe (from Nourishing Traditions) dictates, I soaked two cups of organic rolled oats overnight in two cups of water. Then, this morning, I put two more cupsContinue reading “Oatmeal”
Book Review: Making Your Small Farm Profitable
I have had this book on the shelf for almost a year, and finally opened it earlier this month. I quickly realized it is an essential book for anyone planning to own a profitable small farm or market garden. The author, Ron Macher, is publisher of Small Farm Today, “the original how-to magazine of alternativeContinue reading “Book Review: Making Your Small Farm Profitable”
Homesteading in the 21st Century
I have been struggling for months to establish my farm philosophy. One thing I often consider is how to incorporate technology into my life, without allowing it to take away from the non-technical aspects. Whether to purchase paper books, or e-books is an issue that I think about a lot. And this blog, for example.Continue reading “Homesteading in the 21st Century”
The internship so far…
I can’t believe it’s already been a month! You heard all about my first day on the “job.” Days #2 and #3 were cut short due to some off-farm commitments Cyndi had, but last week we got to spend the whole beautiful morning on the farm. We had a guest along for the morning asContinue reading “The internship so far…”
First Day at Lazy B
I really wasn’t sure what to expect from my first day as an intern with Lazy B Farm, so I wore jeans and boots and brought my notebook and pen along too, just in case. I was greeted by half of the children on the farm, and had a lovely conversation with them while weContinue reading “First Day at Lazy B”
So Much to Share!
Okay, first things first: my husband has accepted a job that requires our family relocate from Athens, GA to Pennsylvania – IN APRIL. We made our first trip up there this past weekend to scope out the area and searched for three straight days for a home to rent that is reasonably close to hisContinue reading “So Much to Share!”
