Greetings To All of You!

in #homestead7 years ago

Greetings to you all! I just started this blog as a way to share our adventures here on our little homestead in rural New Hampshire, USA. Here we work to build a sustainable way of life, a rich tradition for our children, a strong community and a spiritually nourishing environment through hard work, dedication, education and traditional skills. We make many of our own tools, do our own vehicle maintenance, plant and wild craft our food, preserve and cure our own meats, vegetables and fruits. We also work with local charities to better our world. I am unbelievably excited to be sharing these adventures with all of you!

Here we are last year at our friends farm helping to cull and butcher meat goats.

Here I am taking them down to primal cuts

And here is our friend preparing the hides for salting so they can be tanned at a later time. We waste as little as possible from these animals who help keep us alive!

Every year we hold a small feast and share the products of our labor with our friends and family. Nothing is as rewarding as feeding the people you love with food grown, processed and then cooked with your own hands!

We also like to work with local charities. Here I am standing in front of a stack of insulation that I managed to find and get donated to a local group who provides housing and services for the homeless.

And from our blacksmith shop, here on the property we produce many of our own tools. Here is a little utility knife we made for doing small tasks around the homestead.

I hope you have enjoyed this little overview of some of the things we do here and I am looking forward to sharing more with all of you in days to come.

Really its a great work and encouragment for the steemit community to work hard to save the future of our nation. Good post. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much. We are trying very hard to help build not just our farm or our business, but also our community. We have some excellent things planned for this summer, projects working with a not for profit that helps house, feed and rehabilitate the homeless, that I will be writing about on this blog. Hopefully, we will also be taking the blacksmith shop on the road and doing classes with the Boy Scouts of America, sharing our trade and teaching old skills that still have deep value. I look forward to being able to share all of these things here.

Its a great work and great effort for the people. I really appreciate your work.

Thank You! I am going to put together an updated photo spread of what we have accomplished up until this point in the near future. You can't really see anything right now as it is all still covered in snow!
