Homesteader Life

Last night we had such a fine meal, I thought I’d share it with you. Nothing fancy, didn’t even have meat. It was just good summer food and all of it was pick moments before it was consumed. We had summer squash and zucchini fried in butter in a big cast iron […]

This year I’ve really been lamenting over the fact that we didn’t have a hog around. Hogs are one of the most important animals to have on a real homestead. They turn waste milk, table scraps, and garden scraps into fine tasting meat. Every time I saw waste I would say, “We […]
