Where do you spend time with God? When do you find peace and connect with Jesus? For me it's on my tractor as we tend to the tasks He has set before us.
We were way overwhelmed last year and were not able to keep up with videos. We will try to keep up this year with likely fewer and shorter videos. We can't wait to see what God has in store for our fields this year!

Looking at the process of installing our Champion Winch onto our Kubota RTV. Got it all wired up, except the wireless receiver. As long as it lasts it looks like we will be happy with this purchase. Will be used primarily for a snow plow we will be getting for the Kubota.

Some YouTubers make composting look like a daunting task with too much research and chemistry involved. In reality, it's super quick and it's super easy. This is how we do it. Sure we don't have the best compost in the world, but we have compost that works and helps our garden and soon our chickens.
If you feel like you don't know how to compost, so you don't. Stop. Just throw crap in a bucket and empty it into a trash can or a pallet box and enjoy.

Fighting the rain to get some potatoes out of our ruth stout no dig gardening area. Then we try to plant a small bit of new potatoes and check on our pumpkin patch.

The American Guinea Hogs escaped for the first time today. It's hard to be mad at such cute pigs, though. We had a temporary pig pen set up until we got the electric fence set up. Wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to wrangle the pigs up with a baby attached to me.
Homesteading has been quite an adventure so far and I can't wait for what else it holds for us. There isn't often a dull moment around here anymore.

We got a new SportDOG In-Ground Fence System. So far it's been amazing and has worked flawlessly with our dog. There were some small kinks to work out with install and configuration but our dog has been confidently confined. Now we just have to get all of the wire buried before the rapture.

We are preparing to plant potatoes. This week, we plow behind the pigs, till and get the final touches before we plant. This is a super exciting time for us as this is the first year we are expanding and going much bigger at our new place. Keep us in your prayers as prepare and plant.

Follow a tomato as it journeys from a vine on our farm through the process of getting to a food bank at Freedom Church.

Any source of free food is fantastic. Since this video we have even secured another source of food nearby. It really saves us on feed and our American Guinea Hogs really love it. The chickens are fans too! Don't be afraid to ask around. The real trick is when you get too much and have to figure out how to store it all! A GREAT problem to have.
