I have several dozen small eggs (from Cochin and frizzles) and I have several dozen brown eggs. I will probably have more by end of day.

The Truth About Starting a Homestead

There is a right way—and a wrong way—to start a homestead.

Let me clear something up first:
You do not need 10, 15, or 20 acres.
You do not need fancy barns or perfect fencing.

You can start your homestead with exactly what you have.

When you’re starting out, you use the materials on hand. You spend less money. You figure things out as you go. Homesteading isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about practicality and sustainability.

And no, you’re not going to get rich homesteading.

You can make money—but this isn’t a get-rich lifestyle. What it does give you is the ability to:
• Reduce grocery bills
• Replace store-bought items with things you produce
• Learn what you can do yourself instead of paying someone else

One thing no one told us about homesteading is this:
You will often spend more money on feed than you make.

We don’t raise meat animals here. Many of our homestead animals were surrendered to us, and they will live out their lives right here. Homesteading doesn’t have to mean livestock for profit—it can simply mean stewardship.

Another misconception is acreage.

You can homestead wherever you are.

People often confuse homesteading with farming.
• Farming is production-focused.
• Homesteading is about self-sufficiency.

It’s about living off your land, reducing chemicals in your food and body, and doing things in a more natural way.

I’ll also be offering a homesteading class soon for anyone who wants to learn how to start—without wasting money or feeling overwhelmed.

But whether you want to start:
• A rescue or sanctuary
• A homestead
• Or both

Here’s the truth:

If you have the heart, the love, and the passion—you can start.
And you can start with what you already have.

That’s what we did.

The ducks are thriving in the cooler weather — splashing, talking, and bossing everyone around as usual.
Ducks seriously make winter more fun.
Do you prefer ducks or chickens?

Winter slowdown is real, but we’re still getting enough eggs to keep the kitchen happy!
Tip of the day: Add a little extra protein to help your hens through the colder weather.
Do your chickens lay much in December?

Our goats are officially in full “winter snack mode.”
If I walk outside with anything in my hand, they assume it’s food.
Anyone else have spoiled goats this season?

It’s TOO Cold to Leave Pets Outside

If it’s too cold for you to be outside for long, it’s too cold for them.

Pets and outdoor animals can suffer from hypothermia, frostbite, dehydration, and illness when temperatures drop — even if they “usually stay outside.”

What you can do right now:
• Bring pets inside whenever possible
• Provide dry, draft-free shelter
• Use straw (not blankets) for outdoor shelters
• Offer extra food and fresh, unfrozen water
• Check on elderly, sick, or small animals more often

No animal should suffer simply because it’s cold. A little warmth can be the difference between life and death.

Please share this to help keep pets safe this winter. ❤️🐶🐱
