Welcome!
This website launched in mid-March, 2023, so it’s definitely a work in progress. Be sure to come back regularly—or use the subscribe feature in the sidebar—to keep up with this site’s growth.
This site is all about urban homesteading, which you can learn more about here.
You’ll mostly find recipes on this site, most geared toward food preservation, including water bath canning, pressure canning, fermenting, dehydrating, freezing, and cold storage. You can read more about these topics here.
Additionally, because I love to cook, over time you’ll find recipes for baking, making alcohol, bread, and more. You’ll eventually find menu plans for how to use these preserved foods to impress your guests, and posts about gardening and turning your property (however small, even if it’s an apartment balcony) into a garden oasis.
