Dusty Swamp Provisions I homestead in rural VT. I make salves, soaps, and other provisions with the produce from my gardens and from wildcrafting the surrounding area.

Bear Fat Salves and Lard Soaps are my passion as they are tremendously helpful for our bodies.

I think they are watching me 👀

This is about half of the winter squash harvest. There are six more crates in the other corner of the house. And a few loose squash scattered around the house.

Time to sell some squash! And other things!

Text me/dm me if you want to buy:

🍊 Winter squash*
🧄 Garlic
🧅 Onions
🌶️ Kimchi
🥬 Sauerkraut
🐻 Bear fat salve

* I realize that's an 🍊 orange. There's no squash emoji.

Underneath all of those dried tops are jewels that I grew!

Cleaning the onions is low on the priority list and yet I just wanted to get it done. Eleven minutes later and they are clean and ready for storage.

This is only the last part of my onion harvest. The first crate is already cleaned up. I'm thinking it's time to share some onions with folks as I definitely have enough!

Would you believe that I felt like cleaning these onions as a wee way to procrastinate bringing a ridiculous amount of winter squash into the house?

Photos incoming. . . 😬

Beautiful beans!

I was up way past my bedtime last night shelling a whole bulb crate of shelly beans.

This was the last bean harvest of the season since the plants died in the third frost that we've had up here.

These will all go into the freezer mixed up together to be used when I want to eat beans on the fly.

The rest of the beans are drying down and will get shelled slowly over the next few months.

Harvest, harvest, harvest😳😬😹😭🩷

Dry beans, dry corn, hot peppers, tomatoes, winter squash, flower seeds, garlic, onions, dried flowers, herbs, and seasonings, tomato sauce, peach butter, and elderberry syrup, oh my!

Not seen here are the three crates right outside the door of beets, potatoes, napa cabbage, and shelling beans.

I've got my work cut out for me!

Oh, and there's the dozens of winter squash currently curing in the greenhouse that will need to come inside soon.

Weeeeeeee!

Strawflowers, calendula, yarrow, and California poppies held on through the frost last night.

Nearly everything else died. It's time for a big ol' harvest of anything left out there. And by "it's time" I mean I'll start chipping away at it over this next week as I balance my other obligations.

It's bear fat season and that means I'm driving around central and northern Vermont once or twice a week to pick up fat.

My freezers are almost full and I'm looking for someone who has spare space in their barn, garage, basement who would let me put a freezer there.

I can barter and/or pay money for the electricity.

Is this person you?!
