HOMESTEADING WITH KIDS

Homesteading can be defined as a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. Here on our homestead we are just dipping our toes as it’s our very first year. Our children [Jack,5 & Emilia, 3] are involved in everything we do. I think the opportunity to see that they have the ability to grow their own food or build things with their own hands is extremely beneficial to them. They hear many of the topics we discuss, what our goals are and how we want to achieve them.

Some of the homesteading activities in which our kids have participated in with us include: growing produce in our garden [tilling/planting/weeding], harvesting our produce [collecting in baskets/separating veggies/organizing them], preserving our produce [pickling/drying/freezing], building things around the homestead [poultry tractor/brooder], raising waterfowl + poultry [ducklings/chicks/poults/keets], harvesting our meat birds [scalding/plucking/gutting/portioning], sheering sheep [learning about how + why].. etc

As much as I am growing and learning through homesteading, so are our children. What do you do with your kids on your homestead?

Hello Ana! Just earlier today my husband I met you and your husband at the Homesteaders of America conference 2021! We stood in line together to ask questions to the herbalist, Darryl Patton, and afterward you gave me two packs of seeds from your farm. On the front was the stamped name of your farm. So I looked you up, hoping to connect again someday! I’m thrilled to see you have a YouTube channel too! Now I’m a faithful follower!
In answer to your question… I do the same thing with my kids as you do with yours… and I have all along. My oldest is now 22 years old and she’s grown to love gardening with me. She helps SO much and is such a blessing to me! Not all of my kids have this interest, but they’ve all had a taste for the good life and plenty of experience…. And they’re growing up with strong work ethic and a love for what true life is all about! ❤️ Keep up with the good work! You’re doing a fabulous job with your beautiful children!
