We are a family of earth lovin folk, living completely off the power grid. We are situated in the Pisgah National forest, and hour from the nearest town. We enjoy gardening, beekeeping,preserving our own food, selling at the local markets and living as simply as possible. we heat and cook with wood.We heat our water with wood and solar and do without some of the luxuries in life but wouldn't have it any other way. Somtimes hard, always rewarding.. THis is our story

Brought to you by The Letter "P"
ahhhhhhhhhh, summer time.. who doesnt love warm summer nights, being barefoot in the garden, bees buzzing, a dip in the creek,... So today, I bring you some of the loverly things, that summer homesteading activities bring, that start with the ****Letter P** and you can decide which one is your least favorite ;)
*planting
*Peaches
*Pickles
*Peppers
and a horrible case of
*POISON OAK :(
Lets just say canning, when its 100 degrees/85% humidity, with poison oak, is not OK.... but the peaches had NO sympathy as they sat bruised and getting softer by the minute, the peppers slowly losing their crisp, and the cucumbers stacking up in my fridge in ridiculous proportions, I had to woman up......
Ive spared you the picture of the poison oak, and will leave you with this pleasant photo:) ya cant have the sweet without the sour I suppose ;)
