Our neighbor came after we seeded and used a cultipacker on our hayfield here on Abundant Acres homestead! It’s exciting to see the ground being turned by not one but two John Deere tractors. Our neighbors brought their tractors and made light work of our little hayfield. It’s amazing to see the dirt clods being broken up by the discs. . We are so thankful, grateful and blessed to have amazing neighbors like ours! Here's a link to the previous video when we got our field plowed https://youtu.be/nAXfHySziOA For years we enjoyed gardening, raising chickens, gathering eggs, raising pigs and enjoying our land. We got overwhelmed and ended it all. Since then we’ve thought things through and have decided to reinvent our little “homestead” if you will. This time we plan to Do Things Different. We’ve started by naming our small farm Abundant Acres. What we don’t know we plan to learn and share our experiences...wins AND fails. Take the journey with us a see some of our favorite parts of the adventure.

Who doesn’t love mushroom hunting? In our area people look forward to spring nit just for the nicer weather but because the morel mushrooms appear. Hunting and finding morel mushrooms is a fun scavenger hunt. Morel mushroom hunting is a fun way to get outside and take a nice hike through the woods with a chance to find some delicious surprises. Foraging for food has always been a “thing” but in our area mushroom hunting is THE king of foraging. Come along and see if we find any mushrooms. Listen up for the tip on hunting for the prized morel mushrooms. I also was able to find some plants in need of rescuing at our local farm store. I actually was interested in the pots and trays but the broccoli, I mean cauliflower were a delightful bonus! I’m not sure if they’ll make it. But I gave them a spot in one of our hugelkultur beds and we’ll find out I suppose. We also had a couple cute outside projects. We built mini fairy garden. I now have a proper area for propagating plants AND we got the homestead mulched and looking nice. Well I think it looks nice. Just a little bit of mulch can do wonders for curb appeal!
