Beginner Homestead Welcome to Beginner Homestead. It won’t always be called this. But right now this is our very beginning and that’s why I’ve named it that.

If you’re interested in watching us build something out of nothing then we welcome you with open arms!

Hello, all friends and fans❤️😊 I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to Autumn🍁🍂

I was recently gifted some green beans from a very nice family friend. We went over and picked them ourselves. He even gave me a fresh jar of honey from his bees free of charge! How sweet is that??

Anyway, let me tell you guys how I did this to my green beans! I I basically power boiled some beef bones for 2 days! I kept it in the refrigerator overnight after day 1, scooped off all the solidified, fat and power boiled again for day 2. Then I finally got our green beans we had broken on Day 1 out of the fridge and raw packed them into some clean & sterilized jars, added my spoonfuls of Redmond’s real salt, poured in the steaming hot broth, and loaded everything into the pressure canner!

The beef bones I’m using are from our yearly 1/2 beef we buy from a local farmer. I’m trying to get all of the bones and fat out of my freezer to make space for the next cow to fit in there sometime this February!

I’ve canned up at least 12 pints of bone broth by itself so far… and then I made some more and added it into my green beans because Hello?? Flavor!

I only had one jar break which was actually pretty neat because I took a few of the beans out of the pot and got to get a glimpse of what these might taste like!!

A whole lot of fun, hard work, and some more jars going on the shelf.

So far 2026 has been the year I’ve canned more than I ever have! I am so thankful to God and all of the blessings he’s given to me and my family!

Happy Canning and I hope everyone is doing well❤️

Let’s talk about health!🥰

If you heard me mention Lion’s Mane mushroom in the video, all the benefits are listed below. 👇🏼

Today’s soup was made with:
• 1 pint home-canned beef bone broth
• 1 pint home-canned marinara sauce made from our garden tomatoes, herbs, and veggies
• Homegrown potatoes
• Homegrown peas
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can corn
• 1 pint water
• Local beef (beef filet cut into stew chunks + 1 lb ground beef)

⭐ Secret ingredient: Lion’s Mane mushroom!

Lion’s Mane is a unique mushroom that has been getting a lot of attention for its potential health benefits.

Some research suggests Lion’s Mane may:
• Support brain health and memory by helping encourage healthy nerve growth.
• Support mood and emotional well-being. Some studies state that it may help with mild feelings of stress and anxiousness.
• Support nerve health and recovery.
• Support gut health thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
• Support a healthy immune system.
• Support heart health and healthy blood sugar levels.

Of course, no single food is a magic cure, but I love finding simple ways to add nutrient-dense foods to meals we’re already making.

One of my favorite things about homesteading is learning how food can nourish our family in more ways than just feeding us.

Have you ever tried Lion’s Mane mushroom? If so, what did you think of it?

Slicing the meat we cured!! Simple bacon 🥓 for the freezer (you can also just vacuum seal meat that’s been cured like this 🫢 but I’ve never tried to do that)
