Riggity Alps Homestead

Riggity Alps Homestead A chemical-free oasis with naturally-grown fruits and vegetables, old-fashioned maple syrup, and more

Being raised on a small farm, I learned at an early age that hard work was key to success. After many years of the property being taken out of any kind of production, we decided to start this homesteading adventure as a way to bring the family closer together. It started simply enough by attempting to produce maple syrup the old fashioned way: boiling over a wood fire. This was such a success that

the next step was to grow fruits and vegetables again. Without the use of chemical fertilizer or pesticides, I decided to produce nutritious food by first creating healthy soil in which to grow our crops. While we’re still building and expanding, expect to see unusual growing techniques tried here on the homestead, and if things don’t work out as expected, then it will be seen as a learning experience, not a failure. I hope you enjoy the adventure, here on Riggity Alps Homestead! As of October 31st, 2019, Riggity Alps Homestead has moved to a new location, where the adventure continues.

I had to do a little trail camera maintenance this evening so I took Onyx out for the job. While working in the woods and on the way back home, I decided she needed a photo op, or two, or three. 😆

She sure is a workhorse and very stealthy as we rode the trails, which need a bit of cleaning and expansion. I’m hoping to get through the entire 32 acres this year with at least a perimeter trail system to monitor this chunk of land.

A few videos will follow this update shortly in a separate posting.
