It has been awhile since we put out a video. We really would like to make more of them to document the types of things we are working on but usually we are too tired. 🙂 Anyway, enjoy!

photo credit Last week when I wrote about why grains are not necessary for a nourishing diet I really thought I would receive some negative responses. After all, as (one of my favorite bloggers) Elana said: “I don’t even try to explain to people what I eat, a look of bewilderment crosses their face the…

Most mornings I meet these ladies somewhere in the kitchen. They stumble out, red hair a mess, asking if they can help mix up this or that even before they can keep their eyelids open. We talk about how we slept and Ruthie usually tells me that she was woken up either by Mabel Howard…
I had this huge long post I’ve been writing up all week but it’s still not ready and we’re still recovering from a house-wide head cold so I guess a few photos is all I’ve got this for this space this week. It’s time to plant potatoes and so the field of pea greens is…
I don’t really know what happened to January. We started digging up the potato field. We had a lot of cozy evenings by the wood stove. We did a lot of addition and long division and multiplying fractions alongside reading and penmanship and english. I finally got around to planting broccoli starts which have still…
In our book The Doable Off-Grid Homestead, we talk about our progressively built home. What I mean by that is that we started with a 400 square-foot cabin built under an existing roofline. To that we added a kitchen and dining area just shy of 300 square feet. Those were the days when it was…

That was beautiful. Your children are so into living on the land, its wonderful to see the boys building, measuring and working so hard and the little ladies are just too cute. Bless your gorgeous family. xxx
So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!
Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
