Welcome to The HomeAcre Hop!

I have a very exciting announcement this week…I have a co-host! Everyone please take a moment to welcome Jenny from Black Fox Homestead to The HomeAcre Hop! Stop by her blog and let her know how much she is appreciated!

Jenny and her husband have just started their homesteading adventure full time! I’m really excited to hear more about their adventures. You’ll love having her as a host. I’ve really enjoyed reading all of her wonderful posts about homesteading in Oklahoma, so having her as a co-host is a real honor!

Heirloom Seed Giveaway Starting Monday!

Here’s another exciting announcement! Mary from Back to the Basics and Mary’s Kitchen is generously donating a collection of heirloom seeds for one lucky winner! Jenny and I will host the giveaway this month and announce the winner on March 28th. The giveaway goes live Monday morning on both sites, so please be sure to stop back and enter! You’ll notice that I have a new button in my sidebar connecting to Mary’s Heirloom Seeds. Check out her catalog for some great varieties of vegetable, herbs, and sprouting seeds. This is a very environmentally responsible company that I am proud to help support. Jenny and I will also be receiving seeds from Mary’s Heirloom Seeds to review this year. So stay tuned for more news about Mary’s company and her seeds!

Linky Love Party

Be sure to check out the Linky Love Party I announced on Tuesday! This party is set up specifically for party hosts to add links to their parties! This is a great way to get the word out that you have a party to join. For bloggers who would like to promote their blogs through linky parties, this is a fun way to find new ones! Check it out here…The Linky Love Party!

Featured Bloggers

It’s always tough to choose just a few posts to feature. Starting next week I’ll have Jenny to help! I like the no-nonsense approach all of these bloggers take to living a healthy, homesteading lifestyle. Be sure to stop by and congratulate Summer’s Acres on their new blog and new land purchase! I know we’re all jealous of that chunk of real estate.
