What is The Crafty Farmstead?

Welcome to our new homesteading adventure!

We're not new to homesteading, but we have just moved to a new home with ten acres, and now we have to start all over again turning this overgrown land into a beautiful and productive farm. We are crafting a brand new homestead here and we invite you to join us. 

Our new home

The future garden

Do you want to learn how to craft your homestead from the ground up?

Follow along as we show you step-by-step how we establish a new garden, get started in chickens, rabbits, bees, goat keeping, fencing advice, build your own pens coops and hutches, milking/grooming stand,  raised bed and container gardens, find new uses for old tools, and re-purposing as an art form.

Then let's get crafty! I love trying new projects and learning new and old-fashioned skills. We'll show you how we make our own decorations, useful farm gadgets, homemade house keeping supplies, soaps, laundry detergent, household cleaners, barnyard formulas for cleaning and animal health, personal care, shampoos, oils, lotions. Save money and eliminate all the chemicals by making your own!
