Part time homesteader

Who can homestead? Why, you can, of course!

It doesn’t take a farm or a ranch to homestead. Homesteading is  a lifestyle, not a location. 

What is homesteading?

Soap Making
Canning
Gardening

We didn’t know when we bought Rocky Hill that there were existing fruit trees! Two apples and a plum tree sat along side our driveway.

What we didn’t realize was how much care the apple trees take, we have battled cedar apple rust, insects and even our own goats, who evidently find my apple trees the most delicious thing in the whole of the homestead!

Some years, we have a pretty good harvest, I’ve made apple butter and apple sauce, canned apple pie filling (that was GOOD) and jugs of apple cider vinegar.
