The Homesteader Hop #49

Sharing is caring!

The Homesteader Hop #48

Welcome to The Homesteader Hop #49! Each week we have plenty of posts to keep your attention starting every Wednesday at 1 AM EST.

We’ve added something new to the Hop!

If you are featured, your post will be added to our group board, The Homesteader Hop Group Board, and you will be invited to pin with us!  Make sure to follow the board (sometimes it’s hard finding you to invite)!


We’ve officially hit Spring here at the Samuels’ Homestead!  We have our first broody hen of the year!

Thank goodness! I was really starting to worry!  We’ve usually had at least two by this time of year!

Why was I worried?  Check out my post, Momma Knows Best ~ Letting A Broody Hen Brood!

I hope you’re having a fantastic week!  And enjoy the Homesteader Hop!

 This Blog Hop is being hosted by:

Hi All! In 2013 my husband and I purchased our home and have been transforming it into our dream homestead. Follow along at A Chick And Her Garden and see how our little slice of heaven grows. I’ll be sharing our experiences, animals, crafts, recipes and more!

This is the story of our family as we downsize our lives and increase our self-sufficiency. We left a city home and city salary behind to create a homestead on 2.5 acres in the mountains!

I’m Jess, a Christian wife & mama of 3 sweet kiddos living a simple life in the great state of Tennessee. My husband & I raise goats, honeybees, chickens, & horses on our 6 acre homestead. I love to share with you about frugal living & self-sustainability through homesteading, homemaking, and homeschooling!

As a homesteader at heart Dana loves things that increase production, self-sufficiency and efficiency. You will most often find her in the garden, seeing to the animals or sitting in the sun watching her children play. In the kitchen, she always doing something; dreaming up new recipes, fermenting, baking, cooking and making soap or skincare. Dana also works part-time as a nurse at the local hospital. As a family, they are living in the south of stunning New Zealand on 10 acres as they are working towards self-sufficiency. Dana is happiest when she has several projects on the go, creating a big mess while making delicious and beautiful things.

Erin’s a homeschooling, homesteading small farming mother of three with too many unfinished quilting projects and not nearly enough animals yet. In her “spare” time, she writes at her blog The Usual Mayhem, and is the author of the Farmschooling curriculum series.

Cery loves to teach all about traditional foods and old fashioned homecrafts. When she’s not playing in the kitchen or craft room, she’s working on her Master Herbalist Certification or foraging Central Oklahoma for wild edibles. She has a passion for all things natural and homemade and is currently in the beginning stages of a love affair with pottery.

I couldn't get your button to work. It could have been a problem on my end, but I thought you should know just in case your code needs to be fixed. I did put a link to you, just not a button.

Thank you for hosting this awesome blog hop!
