Always Growing Homestead

Just a reminder that the Itching Ally Salve I make is great for bug bites. I've had to use it everywhere lately! It helped immensely last night. I only share what I have used and tested for myself and my family. Enjoy the summer!

I'm finishing preparations for the The New Hampshire Renaissance Faire today. We had more herbs than I thought, but still limited stock as the season is still young. We will have make and take pressed flower keychains, lavender goodies, and other herbal remedies and salves all locally grown. If I have enough time we will even have some tea tasting (Iced, it's supposed to be a warm weekend!) I can't wait to see everyone!!

The drying shed is cleaned and back in business! Today's harvest included a few spring greens, Bee balm, Dandelion, Wild Carrot, Catnip, Stinging nettles and Raspberry leaves.

I'm a little nervous because stock is limited from last season and we will be at the NH Renaissance Festival in 2 Weeks. We will make it a fun stop either way, so come by and see us!

Starting Tuesday, I'll be hosting open farm day again, from 9-230, and after 4 (I have to pick up my kid!)

This is my day to stay home and work on homesteading projects and a day I am happy to have whoever wants to drop by!

I'm still working on planning out the garden and am happy to share a couple of plots if anyone wants to claim them before I fill them or see what nature fills them with.

We are working on a new duck coop and creating a path to the woods.

As the seasons progress we will have herbs to share and other fun outdoor projects.

My goal is to build an environment to share and enjoy together.

Hope to see you there!

Small dresser that I added wheels from a grill. Birch handle. Both can be easily removed. All drawers work great. Pressed leaves and flowers were mod podged on top but have deteriorated. Should scrape off easily. I used this with jam jars as a mobile apothecary by no longer have the space. It's stored in my screen porch and I can bring it to Rochester or Dover.
