Confessions of a First Generation Farmer

Welcome to our blog, where we document everything we learn as we adapt to this new way of life on the homestead.

Here we share how to cook from scratch, preserve the harvest, grow your own food and flowers, raise livestock, milk cows and goats, bake sourdough, and create herbal remedies.
