For a lot of people, fall signals the end of growing. It’s time to button up the house or land and stay inside. But for homesteaders, especially in the south, we have a WHOLE new season to play in.

Fall for us is the season to get house projects done. Most of the time our fall and winters are cool and wet so we get stuck inside a lot. Especially, when the animals get into the gardens…..

We started the podcast as a way to reach more new homesteaders. There are a ton of homesteaders that are just starting out and they still have to work. Or they love their jobs and they WANT to work but due to time constraints, they can’t read a blog post about how to do things like putting chickens to work or setting homestead goals.

So we are turning those really successful blog posts into episodes to help those that need the information!

You can find all of our episodes on the Blog

If you have any questions feel free to reach out on any of our social media or at leigh@steelravenfarms.com

Don’t be afraid to grow different seed varieties! Even if you have found the tomato of your dreams, there is always space for a new variety! If you think you don’t like a fruit or vegetable, try a different type OR way of cooking it!

Where do I buy my seeds? Well, everywhere but these are the ones I like the most:

It’s frustrating to me when I see Instagram or TikTok videos were homesteaders show their perfect homestead. I want to scream IT’S NOT REAL! to any person who is looking to start a homestead.

The reality is that when you homestead, sometimes you’ve got to really think about what you are wanting and what you can actually get.
