Welcome to The HomeAcre Hop!

I’ve been busy this week butchering poultry, picking veggies from the garden, and working on my kitchen remodel. I stopped to buy straw from an elderly gentleman nearby and was sad to learn that he has cancer. I’ve enjoyed visiting with him since my friend Maria first told me about his sign for straw and vegetables for sale. He was weak and tired as we talked about raising chickens, the chemicals in grocery store meat, and farm life. I’ll leave you with a few words of wisdom from Glen…’Take time to enjoy life. You are lucky to be strong and healthy and able to work and go for walks. Don’t take it for granted!’

I am very thankful for my homesteading life. I hope you are too!
