Well, this is NOT a first, and I'm sure it's not a first for many of you either! This is my reward for preparing the potato bed for the new seed potatoes. Oops, apparently I didn't harvest everything last fall! I don't know what were having for dinner but I do know it's going to contain freshly harvest, winterized potatoes!

Please tell me I'm not the only one with hatching

Please tell me I'm not the only one with hatching fever. There's a first for everything! We are finally incorporating blue egg layers onto the property! These beautiful Ameraucanas and Whiting Blue eggs just arrived from @mcmurray_hatchery. I have to nonchalantly run 2 incubators without Justin noticing. The @brinseaus MaxII has 14 olive eggs and the Brinsea Ovation will house these babies. And that's it, I'm done hatching for the year. Done. As in no more hatching. .

A small soapbox moment - The best thing I did alo

A small soapbox moment -
The best thing I did along our journey to establishing a homestead was to raise heritage breeds. There's something amazing to the heart in knowing that we raise many of the same livestock breeds as our forefathers once raised. I hate seeing the homesteading world raise and consume convenience meat, meaning raising only broiler birds or quick grow out rabbit breeds. Being able to help heritage breeds make a comeback should be the goal for every homesteader. AND there's nothing wrong with raising both heritage and broiler poultry and livestock. Don't miss out on incorporating these amazing breeds to your property! The best writing opportunity I've had to date, writing this article for @backyardpoultrymag on raising heritage breeds as a sustainable meat source. .

So very thankful that @nerdyfarmwife 's book arrived! Lola is making soap for the family and a little something for herself. This is a great time to learn the skill of making your own soaps, lotions, and body products. AND many of the ingredients are still available online. AND AND, it will keep the kids entertained for hours! AND AND AND, your family benefits from the product! .
