S1E43 If I Could Do It Over Again.... 6 Regrets I Have From Our Homestead Journey
When it comes to our homestead journey, I don’t have a lot of regrets. That’s not to say that things have always been easy or have gone according to plan. That’s certainly not the case. There have been a lot of failures along the way. Or, actually, I like to look at them as Thomas Edison did when he was accused of failing 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb. He said, “No, I didn’t fail. I just learned 10,000 ways it doesn’t work.”
If you haven’t gathered this by now, that is really how I approach homesteading in general. It is all a big experiment. What works for others may not work for me. And what works for me may not work for others. Generally speaking, whether in homesteading or life in general, I look at failures as learning opportunities. What can I take away from this so I don’t make the same mistake in the future? For me, generally it’s not a matter of, “I wish I could go back and do things differently….” Those flaws, those mistakes, those things that haven’t gone according to plan are what have made me who I am today and are building blocks for the future.
But, there are a handful of things that come to my mind that I really do wish I could go back and do over. They are lessons I’ve learned, but there’s really not much I can do with those lessons other than share them with other people in the hopes that they won’t make the same mistakes that I have. And so I share with you 6 of my biggest regrets so far in our homesteading journey.
Enjoy!

We are a small family farmstead in upstate NY. We raise American Guinea Hogs, meat "mutt" rabbits and a variety of heritage chickens. We also have started raising Cornish Cross broilers.
We have a large garden comprised f raised beds and do a lot of canning and freezing of vegetables. We also do some fermentation as a means of food preservation and introducing natural probiotics into our diet. This YouTube channel is dedicated to our journey towards a more sustainable, healthy and wholesome lifestyle. Who knows what we might try next??!!!!!
