The last harvest of our homestead vegetable garden this year was our sweet potatoes. Tiny Farmer delayed the sweet potato harvest by a few weeks, but thankfully our first hard frost was delayed long enough to get our tubers into the basement “root cellar” for the winter ahead.

Harvesting Sweet Potatoes | Farewell Vegetable Garden 2024
Our first frost has been delayed this year, so we’ve been enjoying the last of the summer blooms in the flower garden well into November. The cut flowers in vases around the house have been a nice pop of color as the days shorten.

Gluten-Free Holidays | Ingredient Swaps
Just popping in to let you know that Tiny Farmer was born a few weeks ago and all is well! We’ll be taking a break from filming for a little while we adjust to being a family of 3. We filmed ahead a few weeks, so the break will seem “shorter” on your end than ours. But we hope to find our new normal rhythm by the end of the year and be back to sharing the homestead and farmhouse life again soon. In the meantime, take a walk around the summer homestead and enjoy the beauty and bounty of the 2024 growing season. P.S. We plan to keep Tiny Farmer’s life as private as possible in our online age, so we won’t be sharing photographs and videos of him on social media. Thanks for understanding!

FIRST Baby Calf | New Life on Homestead
After raising chickens in a chicken tractor, rotationally pasturing chickens, and in a stationary chicken coop and run, we’ve decided to make a change to how we are taking care of our flock and found a way to have them help us protect the orchard from deer. Join us for a homesteading project night.
