I plan on sharing my whole homesteading experience on here. Everything I learn both successes and failures. Will also share the food I make and eventually recipes! Looking to follow and learn from other homesteaders on this platform 🤝🏻

First time ever growing onions. Easily going to plant 3x as many next year. Got them curing for the next few weeks. Happy Friday!

Been very productive the past year. Have learned a lot about growing a big garden and raising broilers. Really excited for the future here at Onward Acres

Adding Solar Kiln to the list of things I must have on my homestead We recently got into making our own spices and this would be perfect for not only drying peppers for spices, but also drying wood

We had about 3 cayenne pepper plants this year I love growing all kinds of peppers so I had no real plan with what to do with these We harvested the bulk of them, pulled out the dehydrator and let them dehydrate on 165 for 10 hours Grinded them up and made our own cayenne pepper seasoning!

The significantly noticeable difference between our cayenne pepper and store bought absolutely blew our minds After tasting the difference, we decided we want to make as many of our own spices as possible in the future It is such a noticeable difference in texture, color and taste

We’ve been renting this homestead from my uncle this past year we are looking to close on it by the EOY it’s looking like it’s going to workout, but my stomach has been turning in anticipation to make this land officially mine

I truly believe buying this homestead will be the single best decision I ever make it’s rural, but not too far from a ‘big city’ i’m getting married next year then we want to start a family right away this is the perfect environment to raise some good kids in an ever growing disconnected world
