Homesteading Chronicles Part I

I am going to use this blog as a way to share the joys ,triumphs and set backs of our move into homesteading.

I am a Medicine woman so I will share the metaphysical side of this maniestation as well as the practical day to day life of acquirig then living on a self sufficient,eco friendly,eventually off grid homestead!

Besides the land being for raising food-I am a healer and the land itself is very healing-my method of healing is changing from a hands on approach to letting the land and spirits of nature do the healing-all I have to do is open Sacred Space and drum and sing..which is what I prefer!

Living this wasy is not new to me at all...
I grew up on a back to the land homestead.
The difference is I was a teenager then and was resistant in some ways-especially no TV- only going into town once a week and very rarely even going to a restaurant.I eventually adapted -loved to ride my horse,run in the woods,sew and play cards and board games ,clean out the many springs,write poetry and read, read, read...
Everything we ate was home made-homecanned and organic meat we raised.
My mother made butter and cheese-we had chickens for eggs and meat.
We had pigs,beef cows,honey bees -lots of fruit trees and berry bushes .
We grew a huge kitchen garden -then we had corn fields,sorghum cane field,hay fields - tobacco and another canning garden up on top of the Hill (the knobs of KY-your house is down low and main farm is up ontop of the ridge)
My dad hunted rabbits, he fished.I don't recall him shooting any deer.
We had nut trees on the property
We wild crafted morel mushrooms,picked blackberries and poke ..and other things I will share more later..
We sewed our clothes and blankets and curtains...

I did not have as high an appreciation for that as I do now.

So let me start with this.
My husband and I have found the perfect place for us.
It has 170 acres-30 we are settings aside to homestead.
140 acres  my hubby is going to build homes on-he is building holistically healthy , off grid ,w/ 1/2 acre permaculture lots - we want folks to have edible landscapes and be able to live as self sufficiently as possible!

Well we are leaving to go walk the land.
It is Venus Transverse so we wanna go plant some little clear point quartz crystals to set the energy!

Love n Light!
