Homesteading means always learning. Tonight was a beautiful night to cut hay. The crop is lush; just hoping for some hot days so that this dries out enough to be baked.

My neighbour’s field hasn’t been sprayed for over 15 years. It is beyond certified organic. And we are blessed to buy hay from him to feed our cows through the winter.

An excellent expose on Canadian cheese.

Most Canadian cheese is poison. And this doesn’t even discuss GMO rennet.

That block of cheese in your fridge might be quietly working agains...

First time mom Mavis gave birth in our pasture all by herself yesterday afternoon.

We brought them both up to the barn to make it easier to establish a milking routine (this will also be new for her).

One of the things I love about farm life are the new babies. What a delight!

This is our fifth summer here and this is the first year they have bloomed.

Lilacs. One of my favourite flowers. Double blessed to have white and purple!

Someone a long time ago planted these on their homestead. And today I am blessed to receive this gift.

Happy Shauvot! Today as I celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, I also celebrate my wild Saskatoon’s in full bloom.

Inflation-proof your pantry.

The price of wheat soared yesterday as the USDA predicts major shortages. This will affect our prices here in Canada, too.

1. Buy some wheat now. 5 kg or 25 kg. It stores well and can be used to make bread, baked goods, pasta, etc. Buy some extra to use as a commodity for trading.

2. Learn to bake your own bread. It is more nutritious and will save you a lot on your grocery bill. Bonus: no glyphosate in your bread.

3. Plant a garden. No matter how little space you have, even some lettuce in a pot on a balcony is better than no garden. You’ll be learning about soil health, germination, growing and then you can scale up next year. If possible, find a community garden where you can grow with others.

Watch this short video and message me if you want to stock up on glyphosate-free Hard Red Spring wheat.

Wheat futures explode after the USDA dropped a bombshell: 10.5+ million acres of U.S. wheat abandoned, marking the smallest American wheat crop since 1972. H...

Mother’s Day with the fam jam and these two adorable bubbies. It is more than I could ask for or imagine.

Big hope, big love.
