Yess yess yess!!! Who wouldn’t want this life? Raising your own food and knowing where it’s coming from. Being as self sufficient as possible. And enjoying the things that God created. Can I get an Amen • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #moderndayhomesteader #homesteader #homesteading#homesteadinglife #homesteadersofamerica #homesteadersofinstagram #sustainablelife #growyourownfood #raiseyourownmeat #modfarm #iamcountryside #farmher #upstatenyhomestead #theporterhomestead

Just hanging out with all of my friendsThey were biting my pants and boots while taking this picture. I will definitely miss these three when they leave. Each of them have different quirky personalities. It makes me excited to have a sow on our farm that lives her life full time with us. Dreaming away of that day. Which one of your animals has the best personality? • • • • • • • • • • • #homesteading #homesteadinglife #pasturepork #pasturepigs #growyourownfood #raiseyourownmeat #sustainable #farmersofinstagram #farmher #modfarm #iamcountryside #upstatenyhomestead #theporterhomestead

It’s amazing how these day old piglets prioritize and have already mastered the butt-scratch. Must be an important evolutionary trait. #kunekunepiglets #kunekunepigs #kunekune #pasturedpigs #pasturedpork #farrowing #freerangefarrowing #makinbacon #iloveyouimgonnaeatyou #growyourownfood #raiseyourownmeat

If you missed my stories the other day then you missed my pile of mulch that got delivered! A tree company was around the corner trimming trees and mulching it so I chased the guys down and asked them to dump their truck at our house. Then I told them I want two more loads. We are doing the Back to Eden gardening method. This method has you lay newspaper or cardboard directly on the grass, then layer a good few inches of compost and then 4-6” of mulch! So when I saw the guys trimming I knew I had to get some free mulch. I am getting the compost from manure solids on a local dairy farm. Once the ground dries up enough so we can have my dads tractor over without tearing up the lawn, then we can start working on the garden! What are you doing to get your garden started? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #backtoeden #backtoedengarden #planningthegarden #startingagarden #growyourownfood #raiseyourownmeat #sustainability #homesteadinglife #iamcountryside #upstatenyhomestead #homesteadersofamerica #farmher #theporterhomestead

I’ve already had so many people say that I’m not going to be able to send these three to butcher in 5-6 months. But I continue to remind people that my passion for knowing where my food comes from, what goes into it, and how it was treated is going to overpower my emotional attachment to these three. I love that I am taking care of the food that is going to provide nutrients to my family and friends that are going to be eating this pork. The same goes for the meat chickens that we will grow too. Yes not everyone can handle raising their own meat. But those of us who can are some special people. Caring for the animals to the best of our abilities until it is their time. In the mean time I will enjoy the time spent with these guys and continue to make sure they are eating the best possible food and living the best life. What is your favorite animal to raise for meat? • • • • • • • • • • • • • #raiseyourownmeat #raiseyourownpork #pasturepork #freshpork #pigsofinstagram #littleporkchops #bacon #homesteading #homesteadinglife #sustainability #knowwhatsinyourfood #homesteadersofamerica #iamcountryside #upstatenyhomestead #theporterhomestead

11 jars down. 89 to go. I really enjoy canning! @eaglefieldhomestead gave me the idea of setting a goal of canning 100 jars this year. A lot of that will depend on how the garden is going but I like having a goal I can strive for. I constantly look at full pantries of canning jars and dream of ours looking like that someday. I want to stop relying so much on commercial stores to get canned goods from when I can just put them up myself in our basement. And then I know exactly what went into our food. I don’t like reading ingredients that you can’t even pronounce, yet we put them into our bodies. Can you imagine if our great grandparents saw some of the food we’re eating And the ingredients in them? A Mennonite women the other day at a farm stand mentioned that more and more people are saying that they can their foods. And she believes that there is more of a trend of preserving foods again. Which a freakin men to that because cmon people! Let’s get back to our roots here. My goal someday is to rely very little on grocery stores. We will see if I can hit that goal. What food goals do you have? • • • • • • • • • • • • • #ballcanning #ballcanningjars #strawberryjam #cannning #sustainable #growyourownfood #raiseyourownmeat #siamcountryside #farmher #modfarm #buildingahomestead #traditionallife #homesteadinglife #homesteadersofinstagram #homesteading #homesteadersofamerica #theporterhomestead #upstatenyhomestead #preserving

We decided which rabbits to keep to breed this fall (after fair) so we removed the ones that didn't make the cut from our rabbitry. That means we learned how to humanely dispatch and process meat rabbits for the first time! It went well and we can't wait to try some recipes out this week! . . . #meatrabbits #watersteadrabbitry #survivalskills #raiseyourownfood #raiseyourownmeat #homestead #modernhomestead #homesteadersofinstagram #homesteading #farmlife #rabbitmeat #lifelessons #circleoflife #homegrownmeat #homegrownrabbit #farmtotable

I'm so proud of these two! . They overheard me telling their Dad that I was going to "handle the roosters" today. Eagerly they begged, can we help? We will be big helpers! . They've never been there for the actual moment of death. But I try my best to treat them as small humans, with their own comfort levels and boundaries they need to set. So I asked, do you want to be there for the moment when I them, or just when we pluck and you can help after they are dead? . Without skipping a beat, they both said, we want to be there for everything! . So they were. From catching them, walking them to our cull station and thanking them for their life and providing foor for us. They stood and watched everything, they asked questions, they helped and had a blast. We talked anatomy, decomposition, food safety and once we cleaned up we filled cups to start seeds. . That sums up homesteading for me. One moment you are taking a life, sustainably providing meat, and the next you are starting new life to feed your family. . Today cemented that my children are my purpose. Teaching them today I felt more joy and fulfillment than I have ever before. . Oh ps, yes we painted our faces with blood, the smallest wasn't into that, so she didn't, and that was totally cool. But she did enjoy squeezing the testicles and chasing her sister around with them, also totally cool. And if any of that offends you, you are on the wrong page ✌
