He digs; I cook: Behind the Homestead
Sharing snippets of our life and seasonal homesteading tips!
We are child-free homesteaders living on 20 acres in beautiful Wisconsin. Here’s a look at our week as spring is springing…
A NOTE:
I originally started specifying “child free” in my “day-in-the-life” videos to be transparent. I never want anyone to feel like they’re not doing enough, especially if they have young kids.
However, what I learned is that there’s a subset of homesteaders out there who often feel left out in this community. The “typical” homesteader has children, maybe even a lot of them. And as people who don’t, our life looks different. It can be hard to relate sometimes, even though we have so many other things in common.
So if you are homesteading WITHOUT kids: welcome! Turns out there’s a bunch of us!
If you are homesteading WITH kids: I think you are amazing! I’m in awe of you!
I love my life, and I love being able to share a different perspective here. Please know I am throwing absolutely zero shade at people with children. I’m always happy for anyone living the life they wanted, no matter what it looks like. 💗

    Hi, How many grams of fresh tomatoes does each scoop replace, in other words, if a recipe calls for 500gms of fresh tomatoes to be cooked down, how many of these scoops would be sufficient to replace that?

    • @wholefedhomestead

      We don't really think of it like that, or measure it like that here in the US where I live, sorry. I use these to add flavor and thicken dishes like stew.

    I'm so glad I just found your channel! I'm in zone 5 eastern Colorado, this year the grasshopper plague has absolutely destroyed my garden, even in the greenhouse, it's all a disaster except for my garlic! I'm interested that you grow softneck as well as hardneck, here the softnecks just don't get enough something, sun or what I don't know. You channel is great and thank you for the great videography and growing guide! Do you fertilize your garlic?

    • @wholefedhomestead

      Thanks so much for your kind words! We don't fertilize, no. I heard the grasshoppers have been awful this year, ugh.

    This summer I grew my first tomatos and cucumbers. All I needed was a 1×4 meters of ground and now I have my own tomatos and cucumbers for free 😊 With a little bit of investigation on the internet how to grow tomatoes and cucumbers anyone can do it. I used to spend a lot of money on veggies and now I have it for free 😅

    Thanks for the video! I've been fermenting kraut for a few years now but I have never fermented a years worth.Even though I have a medium-sized garden I bought the cabbages so I just fermented a couple of times a year. But not anymore with the new food coating APEEL now on everything including organic food I'll be growing my own cabbages. AND increasing my garden size.
