Where do the recipes that fail go during our recipe testing?
We don't like to waste food, but sometimes mistakes are made that just....aren't fit for human consumption 🥴 But, rather than the trash, our ladies got a treat!
This was a jalapeño honey cornbread that was wayyyy too spicy 🌶 🌶🌶 . Thankfully, chickens aren't bothered by capsaicin at all, so they happily pecked away at it.

Hello there! We're ramping up for the holiday season and we need your help!
We are looking at having different price points and optional add-ons to help you find something sweet for everyone on your list.

We're recipe testing this week: honey cornbread and honey jalapeño cornbread mix coming soon 😋

These are super easy- just add water, butter (or bacon grease, we won't judge 😉), and eggs then bake! Perfectly crumbly and made with real ingredients.

Celebrating my 5th year of The Little Shed Homestead. Thank you for your continuing support. Andrew and I could never have made it without you.

What grew out of boredom during extra-strict COVID lockdown because of my autoimmune disease has become an amazing outlet for me to create delicious foods and community.

Your favorites will be on shelves very soon!

When we say "made with local and carefully sourced ingredients," we mean it! Even if that means a 10.5 hour car ride to make sure it is the best fruit possible for our jams and jellies 🥴🚙

Strawberries have finished for the season and now we're on to raspberries ! Very soon will be peaches, blueberries, and cherries. Our tart cherry tree is loaded this year! And our new fig trees are looking great! The hydrangea have really outdone themselves this year 😍

We came home with a lot of work ahead of us to get restocked, and that is a great feeling!

We also have 3 new pullets, so meet Mary, Martha, and Margaret! Rhode Island Reds that are 10 weeks old. They are currently quarantined in our brooder for a bit before we add them in with our other layers.
