About

Welcome, friend! Ryan and I have been homesteading since 2013, but we're starting our NEW homestead from scratch in the north woods of Minnesota. We're currently living in a 960 sq foot hunting cabin and are doing our best to live off our land - gardening, raising chickens, hunting, and foraging. Come along for the journey and learn some self-sufficiency tips along the way!

I surely was NOT expecting that switch up along the way, but I think it all turned out for the best! 😅   I’ve had protective broody hens before, but that was just a bit much 🫣. She would have totally trampled them anytime I stuck my hand in to refresh the feed or water. Do you agree?   So far, nice mama hen is LOVING her new babies and she’s doing such a great job as a first-time mom. I’m so thankful that she stepped in! WHEW! 😅   Also, she’s doing SUCH a great job that I think I’ll let her incubate the eggs herself next time, too. That’s always my favorite route and much less work for me!   I’ve been using @scratchandpeckfeed for years and it is hands down the BEST organic feed out there ✨. They put their heart and soul into making it and it shows. Good feed = happy chicks!    Give it a try for 15% off with my code homesteadingrd15!🐣   #hatchingeggs #homesteadlife #scratchandpeckfeeds, #scratchandpeck, #organichickenfood #ad
