FAQ

About me and my “why”.

I spent years thinking that I just didn’t have enough space for a large garden or what I now call a small scale homestead. My next excuse was the soil has too much clay. Later it was my work hours. Basically I made every excuse in the book. One day I looked up and 10 years had gone by. 10. Years. Can you imagine what I could have accomplished in that time?! Of course we still look forward to more land, more space so that I can expand and maybe even start a thriving business. However, I have learned that no matter how little land you have (or don’t have), no matter the amount of time that you can spare, there is a small scale homestead in your future. You just have to make up your mind to do what is appropriate for your amount of space.

The more you research the foods we eat and the medicine we consume, the more it should start to worry you. This is not a conspiracy thing, just facts. There may not be lizard people but the food in the store is proven to have less nutrients. Even the organic varieties. Then you start to look at labels and ingredients. That’s when you really start to wonder, what is going on? Anyone can make body lotion with 2-4 ingredients. A store bought bottle has well over a dozen! Even taking into account needing preservatives for shelf life, that’s still incredibly excessive. Don’t even get me started on prescriptions. With my Son’s health issues, they are annoyingly necessary. However, we have been able to add natural remedies and cut down on the frequency of uses for many over the counter things.

I started experimenting with container gardens, organic gardening, even shelves and grow lights. What I have come to realize is that you can do this even if you have zero outdoor space! Just some wall space or a bit of room in front of a well lit window and you’re in business! Now I want to show others that it’s possible to get started and make a difference in you and your family’s health. Right now! Take a journey with me and see what you can do to provide organic, nutrient rich foods for your family in whatever quantities you’re able. You can also simple preserve the food that you purchase to supplement your food due to a lack of space. Every little bit helps!
