The Humble Homesteader
Finding natural solutions for every day life, for my family and yours!
What are we all about?
Hi! I’m Katie, the Humble Homesteader. I’m passionate about all things homesteading. From Gardening and Canning through the summer, to managing the livestock, to educating consumers about where their food comes from on a larger scale, I love it all. Welcome in, I hope you leave here with a little more knowledge than what you came with.
Gardening
I’m not an expert, but I combine the ideas and techniques of some experts in my life and share them with you! Being raised with many gardeners in my family, its a tradition I’m happy to carry on in our family. It’s so important for our kids to know how to grow their own food, and have their own hands involved.
Canning
This is my happy place, but I’m still figuring it all out. I’ve learned from my mother, who learned from her mother who learned from her mom. I come from a long line of canners. I only preserve what my family will use, in the hopes that we will waste less and focus on the nourishing foods we love.
Livestock
Hackle chickens, sheep, border collies, show heifers and more.. we’ve got our hands in a little bit of everything! I love sharing this aspect of the homestead. Most people are up to two generations removed from agriculture of any kind, and it’s important to me to help the world remember where their food comes from and the people who produce it!
