Just finished speaking for 5 different classes at the Republic High School for their Take Flight program.

The goal of this conference is to expose students to a variety of careers, experiences, and life perspectives while providing information that helps them make choices aligned with their personal and future goals.

Explore•Learn•Grow

This was a great experience I hope to do again next year.

Thank you, Republic high school for putting so much love and attention into our kids futures.

And thank you Arris Pizza Republic for supplying lunch!

🍋‍🟩 We just harvested limes! 🍋‍🟩

Yes, you read that right. Three beautiful limes picked fresh right here in Republic. We love growing our own citrus.

Our lemon and lime trees live in containers, so they can soak up the sun outside all summer and come indoors before the first frost. Citrus doesn't like temps below about 40°F, so they'll be moving in for the winter very soon.

Here's a fun fact that surprises almost everyone: a fully ripe lime is actually YELLOW!

🤯 We pick them green because that's when they have that tart, zingy flavor we love. Leave a lime on the tree long enough and it turns yellow, gets juicier, and loses some of its bite.

A few more citrus secrets:

⏳ A single lime can take 6 months or more to go from flower to harvest. These three have been a long time coming!

👃 The blossoms smell absolutely heavenly. When they bloom indoors in winter, the whole house smells like a spa.

👇 Your turn! 👇

🍋 Did you know limes turn yellow when they're ripe?

🌱 Have you ever tried growing citrus (or anything "tropical") here in the Ozarks?

Tell us in the comments! 💚

We love using limes in our seasoning blends, check them out on our website!

🔥 At The Backyard Pantry, education is at the heart of everything we do. Each month, we offer free classes at the Republic Branch Library to help our neighbors build the skills to live more self-sustainably. Our classes cover the full range of homestead living: growing and raising your own food, preserving it safely, crafting natural herbal remedies, baking bread from scratch, building rain catchers and even simple skills like sewing on a button.

❤️ We believe this knowledge should be available to everyone, which is why our classes are always free. The handcrafted products we create and sell are what make that possible. Every purchase directly supports our ability to keep teaching our community at no cost.

🍽️Many families in our area face real challenges with food security. Our goal is to help people move from feeling dependent to feeling capable. When you know how to grow your own food and preserve it properly, you gain more than groceries. You gain confidence, resilience, and peace of mind, knowing you can provide for your family no matter what tomorrow brings.

🌼 We're not just teaching skills. We're helping build a stronger, more self-reliant community, one garden at a time.

🐝 It's mid-October and our bees are STILL out working! 🐝 Watch the video to see them in slow-motion! 🤩

While most of the garden is winding down, our hives are buzzing like it's spring. On warm afternoons (anything above about 55°F), you'll find them working the last of the asters and goldenrod, packing in every drop of nectar and pollen they can before the cold sets in.

But here's what most people don't know: the bees flying right now aren't the same kind of bee you saw this summer. 🤯

Summer worker bees live only about 6 weeks. They literally work themselves to death. But in fall, the colony raises special "winter bees" with bigger fat reserves in their bodies. These ladies can live 4 to 6 MONTHS, long enough to carry the colony all the way to spring.

And the boys? 😬 This time of year, the worker bees kick the drones (male bees) right out of the hive. They don't gather food, they don't sting, and the colony can't afford to feed them all winter. Harsh, but that's survival!

Once it gets cold, the bees will huddle into a tight ball around their queen and shiver their flight muscles to keep the center of the cluster around 90°F, even when it's freezing outside. ❄️🔥

👇 Now we want to hear from YOU! 👇

🌼 Are you still seeing bees in your yard? What are they visiting?

🤔 Did you know about winter bees, or is this news to you?

🍯 If you could ask a beekeeper ONE question, what would it be?

Drop it in the comments and we'll answer as many as we can! 💛

Parsley infused salt

I love mixing these together to make our different salt blends like Heritage, Gather, Smokey and Rustic. We have a lot to choose from, check out all the different kinds we have on our website!

Choose from six bold, garden-grown flavors:

🌿 Dilly Dally – Dill and lemon balm brighten this blend with a fresh, lively kick perfect for fish, veggies, or homemade dips.

🌿 Heritage – A timeless mix of sage and rosemary for classic comfort dishes, roasted meats, and hearty vegetables.

🌿 Homestead – A full-garden medley of sage, rosemary, thyme, and parsley—your new go-to for soups, casseroles, and all-purpose cooking.

🔥 Rustic – Sage, rosemary, and smoked bell pepper come together for a warm, woodsy flavor ideal for grilling and roasted potatoes.

🧄 Savory – Rosemary, sage, and garlic make this a rich, aromatic favorite for bread dipping, pasta, and everyday seasoning.

🔥 Smokey – Pure smoked bell pepper infused into salt for a smoky, campfire-inspired finish on meats, eggs, veggies, and more.

Whether you’re cooking, grilling, or finishing a dish, these infused salts add depth and homegrown goodness to every bite.

FireC***r in a jar! Just add your apple c***r vinegar and let it sit!

🍂 Cold and flu season is right around the corner. Is your cabinet ready?

Have you ever bought a whole bag of herbs just to use a single sprig , then watched the rest sit in your pantry until it lost its flavor? Making fire c***r at home can get expensive fast when you're buying every ingredient separately.

That's exactly why we created our premade Fire C***r Mix 🌿

Here's what we've already done for you:

✅ Measured every herb in the right ratios

✅ Chopped and prepped everything

✅ Freeze dried it all to lock in freshness, flavor, and nutrients

✅ Sealed it airtight so it stays shelf stable until you're ready to make it

All you have to do:

🔥 Fire C***r Mix: add apple c***r vinegar and let it steep, add honey as needed when dosing

No hunting down a dozen ingredients. No leftover bags going to waste. No guessing on ratios. Just open, add your liquid, and you're done!

🎁 These also make a thoughtful gift for the friend who loves home remedies, the new homesteader, or anyone who wants to start their herbal journey without the overwhelm.

Tuck one into a stocking or gift basket this season!
