Indian Spiced Meatballs
Meatballs are a weeknight staple at my house, and this Indian variation is a great alternative to the classic Italian recipe. It works with practically any ground meat, and it’s amazing with this simple pumpkin curry sauce. It’s a comforting recipe that’s ideal during the fall and winter seasons...

How to Build a Pig Watering System
Chickens are the gateway animal for new homesteaders and hobby farmers, but pigs have to be a close second. You need a little more to get started with pigs, but not a lot. Pigs need a place to eat and sleep, a physical structure that can keep them where they are supposed to be—and they are notorious...

How to Integrate New Birds into Your Flock
There are very few things that make me more nervous when it comes to homesteading than introducing new birds to my current flock, (which sounds absolutely ridiculous now that I’ve typed it, but it’s the gods’ honest truth). Every year, whether it’s ducks, quail, or chickens, and whether they’re...

How to Keep Chickens Warm in the Winter
No matter how long autumn tries to hold on, inevitably it slips away and ushers in those long winter months that often seem to last forever, not only for us, but for the ducks, geese, and chickens that live on our homesteads too. By the time we realize it’s happening, it’s often too little too late...

How to Buy Meat from a Local Rancher
Think about the last time you ate a burger. Maybe it was ground beef you bought at the farmer’s market. Maybe it was an elk burger from that shoulder season cow hunt or venison from a deer you shot with your dad. Perhaps you have that animal’s skull mounted on your wall or a picture of it on your...

How to Forage for Juniper Berries
Juniper is known in most circles (American, at least) for being the star flavor in your gin and tonic, a drink I associate, lovingly, with summertime (unless in the exempt arena of an airport or a casino where I enjoy them year-round). But beyond gin and beyond summer, juniper is the staple spice of...

How to Clean and Store Fresh Eggs
The best thing about owning laying hens is getting farm-fresh eggs. There is nothing better than going out to the nesting box to see how many eggs have been laid, collecting them, and bringing them inside. Hens start laying eggs once they reach approximately six months of age. Don't worry about...

5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Start a Homestead
While it’s easy enough to enjoy the thought of one day running your own homestead, pining for that life of self-sufficiency, the truth of the matter is that kind of life can be taxing, and that’s putting it lightly. Things don’t always go the way we planned, and we’re left scratching our heads...

Everything You Need to Know About Salt Curing Meat
Salt is the only rock that humans regularly consume in its raw form. Despite its ubiquitous use today, salt was once used as currency due to its rarity and difficulty in manufacturing.
