Maple Valley Homestead

Maple Valley Homestead Welcome to our little one-acre homestead! We raise chickens, Muscovy ducks, and Silver Fox rabbits, with turkeys and pigs making occasional appearances.

We love cooking from scratch and preserving food to nourish our family, one season at a time.

Jimothy thinking about digging up our lawn 🤣. Many people choose to get kunekunes because they supposedly don't root up the ground. This is false. I have a large backyard with plenty of room and shade for this little dude and he goes and makes a large hole under our deck 🤣 Oh well! We were fully aware that he would do this. He is a pig after all and that is what pigs do! They can't sweat or pant and digging a wallow into the cold dirt is how they cool down.

This guy is DEFINITELY rethinking his life choices. 21 duckling is too many for him to handle! 🤣

One of my favorite ways to use fresh bell peppers out of the garden! Unfortunately, I am the only one in my family to enjoy the peppers this way, as they only like the filling and i prefer not to fight the kids about eating the more HEALTHY part of this dinner.

Who else has issues getting their kids to try certain foods? Any suggestions on how to get them to eat without a fuss?

Mine is a tie between Paul Robeson and Dr.Wyches for beefsteak and sungold for cherry.

All go right in the pot to make my sauce every year!
