Dixie Living Homestead

This week's visit you will enjoy more of an update with less of a tour. Spend a day with our family on the homestead as we check plants, harvest potatoes, prepare animal homes, and expand our strawberry crop. Don't miss the crazy kitten antics and even a peek at Michael as he digs to find the septic intake. Every day is an adventure and we are so glad you've chosen to follow along!

Many times the "old ways" really are the best ways. We began our family in the suburbs as well, but when we began home-schooling our youngest two, our eyes were opened to a whole way of life they were missing out on as we rushed through the busyness of every day life in the metro Atlanta suburbs. We would love to have you beside us as we become more sustainable by growing and raising our own food. Dixie Living is our journey, won't you come along? We put out new videos every week!

So glad you are here for this week's peek at the garden. You will notice that our approach leans heavily on permaculture techniques with many of the annuals tucked in alongside the perennials. As we clear, plant, and grow, we have a strong desire to create beauty as we build our homestead one garden bed at a time.

Come take a walk with me through our reclaimed homestead property gardens! A lot of work has gone into clearing, cleaning and reclaiming these spaces for growing food for our family of eight.

Today I'm inviting you on a guided tour of our pool garden as well as our front garden beds. Most annuals have been in the ground for at least 2 weeks or so now and so many of the plants are thriving. We used another round of Oldcastle wall brick and treated 2x8's to make these new raised beds. The real star of the show is our brand new orchard which features several varieties of stone fruits and apples. Big Thanks to Michael, Mason and the kids for doing all of the hard work!!
