In January of 2006, we purchased our 40 acre farm in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. The following July we realized our dream and made the jump from life in the city to country living. This blog is about my homesteading adventures since then.

Stocking up for winter





I really enjoy canning. I know that sounds pretty lame and geeky, but it's true. Besides being in the kitchen and cooking, I love the feeling of satisfaction and security I get from putting food up for the winter. Just looking at those jars and thinking about all the meals they will provide makes me feel warm and fuzzy. And I feel even better knowing that I grew that food myself. The whole process of taking a seed and turning it into great-tasting, nutritious, stored food makes me feel like I have really accomplished something real and meaningful.


Here are some pictures of the fruits of my labor.


Peace
