Tree vampires: Behind The Homestead

We are child-free homesteaders stewarding 20 acres in beautiful Wisconsin!
You may know me for posting in-depth gardening, cooking, and preserving tutorials here- but I wanted you to get to know US a little better!
Here’s a look at our week as we transition from winter to spring.
A NOTE:
I originally started specifying “child free” in my “day-in-the-life” videos to be transparent. I never want anyone to feel like they’re not doing enough, especially if they have young kids.
However, what I learned is that there’s a subset of homesteaders out there who often feel left out in this community. The “typical” homesteader has children, maybe even a lot of them. And as people who don’t, our life looks different. It can be hard to relate sometimes, even though we have so many other things in common.
So if you are homesteading WITHOUT kids: welcome! Turns out there’s a bunch of us!
If you are homesteading WITH kids: I think you are amazing! I’m in awe of you!
I love my life, and I love being able to share a different perspective here. Please know I am throwing absolutely zero shade at people with children. I’m always happy for anyone living the life they wanted, no matter what it looks like. 💗

Oh hi, Karl! Great video you two. I’m going to have to get meticulous with my apple pruning as we are adding 5 more trees this year. 😬 I did get the orcharding (is that a word? 😁) book and DVD you recommend.

[@wholefedhomestead]

Thanks so much! The dvd especially is so helpful! I bet we’ve watched it 5 times or more.

Are the mushrooms difficult to grow?

Simply don't let the Burdock go to seed.

Make medicine out of your burdock
