Talk about a dream coming true. Mr. Bluejeans and I had wanted to live in a farmhouse for so long. We wanted it to be very different and cost effective. We stumbled upon post and beam monitor barn construction and I was smitten with the look of these barns. So, why not take the next step and make it our home. We did! Here is the build and as we complete the livestock housing, our next step will be to complete our farmhouse interior. Believe me, I can't WAIT to start working on the inside and showing you what we will do! ↓↓↓↓↓↓ CLICK “SHOW MORE” FOR RESOURCES ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Tools make our lives easier so why treat them badly? When we were living in Wisconsin I knew the harsh winter would affect our garden tools so I found this little trick for keeping them sharp and safe while there were stored in our non-insulated garage. It's so inexpensive and easy to do, well worth the few moments it takes to extend the life of your garden tools!

Ok kids. This is a long one. It seems I have found a passion other than sewing. It's freeze drying! I'm in love with this new way to preserve food & want to share all I am learning with you. SO, let's start with something inexpensive & easy. Shredded cheese! In this overview, I'll go into some basics of what I do to keep my machine running, cleaning, tools I use & general reasons why I don't use the defrost setting & won't "cheat" the machine. This is part 1 of 2 parts. In the second video I will show you how to mylar bag the finished product. I hope you enjoy our new adventure together!

This July will mark out 5th year on the farm. I can hardly believe it. Before we got our land I had a particular picture, in my head, of how our farm would be. The reality isn't even close. The books don't prepare you. I've learned to listen to the farm as that is what guides my day, not the other way around. Patience and willingness to pivot have been the two biggest things that I learned - to help make the days run smoothly. There's always something popping up to change your plans & at this point I'm fine with it.
I there's one thing I can pass along, it's roll with the punches!

We all have them. Those darned tomato cages that just didn't stand up to the tomatoes we grew. I hate tossing things, so I've kept mine around and FINALLY found something to do with them! Maybe this tip will help you too!

THIS IS OUR BEGINNING!
Our first full day on the farm back in 2017. No driveway yet. Some thoughts soil and what we have to work with.
I wanted to have our full journey on our channel so I'm starting at the very beginning. Before a driveway, before we even had the campers placed in our "gypsy camp". This is the VERY first step of our lifelong journey.
