Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
Can you use table scraps to bring down your feed bill? Of course! Most foods make safe table scraps for chickens. We have very little food waste in our home because nearly everything goes to the birds. Plus the ladies love a good snack.
Looking to upgrade your breakfast cereal? This sourdough cranberry almond granola is crunchy, sweet, and perfect on top of some yogurt. You can make up a big batch on the weekend for a quick and easy breakfast all week.
Looking for a fun fall treat? Sourdough pumpkin bread makes a tasty dessert or an easy breakfast. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee on a brisk fall morning.

I’m going to give you some tips to start a homestead garden that will actually feed your family and reduce your grocery budget.
Anybody else remember shaking a jar of cream and marbles as a kid? I can’t remember anybody ever actually making butter. Whipped cream at best. While fun, it was efficient.
