Welcome back to The HomeAcre Hop! I hope everyone is warming up and having some springy weather around their homesteads this week.

Giveaway Winner!

We have a winner for the giveaway from Mary’s Heirloom Seeds! Melody Green will receive 12 packets of a variety of heirloom seeds to plant this year! Congratulations! Enjoy! When Melody responded she said, “Oh my! You have made my week! Thank You!”

I encourage all of our readers to stop by and check out Mary’s Heirloom Seeds for the wonderful selection she offers of non-GMO, organic seeds! Shipping is included, so you can order one packet or a gazillion and not worry about the cost of postage. Thanks again Mary for your generous sponsorship of this giveaway!

I hope you will all come back in one week for our next fabulous giveaway. I’ll give you a little hint, Mary is once again sponsoring the giveaway, but with a completely different product! We’ll announce all the details next Thursday.
