Gretchen's Happy Homestead

Here you will find all the inspiration and information you need to build your homestead. I will take you with me through the journey of setting up my homestead. It is spring, so right now my focus is getting outside. I love playing in my garden, but that is not all there is to homesteading. It encompasses so much more. From food preparation and preservation to animals and homemade products and crafts. Not only will I take you on the journey of growing food, but learning and developing a multitude of other skills as well.

Growing your food not only saves money but ensures that you know what is in your food. Keeping our food local is better for the environment in so many ways. Food is fresher, so less waste and packaging is going to the landfill. Greater diversity in the garden uses fewer chemicals and pesticides. We are conserving fossil fuels by not transporting our food around the world.

Gardening and homesteading build community. Throughout time, people have come together over the table. Learning from our neighbors and sharing the bounty of our crops is one of the most rewarding parts of growing our food. Here we can learn and grow together.
