Hello friends, It's not always exciting on the homestead. This week we are cutting down some trees, and cleaning up the clearing where we will begin building the bunkie we need for Amanda's business to run, on our property. She's currently renting a space in our town and saving that rent money is a big priority for us to move forward building our homestead.

Hey friends, this week we worked on getting our solar panels stood up, instead of laying flat on top of our Seacan. We were ok with them laying flat because it was summer time. The sun is moving further south and we now need them stood up. Mike is building and getting them put together up on the seacan.

Hey friends, today Mike needs to prep the area he wants to move his tree stand to. We do this well in advance of the season starting because the deer WILL notice the change and avoid the area. We want them to get used to it being there for the next month before the season starts. We also understand that hunting is not for everyone and completely understand if you don't hunt. Please let us know, in the comments, if you would like us to include hunting in our list of content going forward.

Hey friends, Today we built a Suscovich chicken tractor style mobile chicken home for our meat birds to be raised on grass. They are loving it. This time we're raising the fast growth birds called White rock from our local hatchery. We will also raise 25 more of their rustic rangers which are a slower growing meat bird. They will be on the homestead soon, so these guys need to get out of the brooder and onto the grass. They are nearly 4 weeks old now. #homesteading #building #offgrid On Our Forest Homestead, we are building an off grid homestead from scratch in Nipissing Ontario, growing zone 4b.

Hello friends, We have been so busy the last little bit, and trying to automate things is one of our goals on the homestead. This week we put together a water system from Amazon to try and automate watering the vegetable garden. This means that we will have less chores on a daily basis. To do this we set up a small solar system down at the garden to power the pump.
