Our First Year On the Homestead; Looking Back

This episode reflects on our first year living on our homestead. I initially felt really nervous to post all the things we COULDN’T get to in our first year, but that’s the what this is all about. We can take away so many lessons learned and blessings, even in struggle. While most of us desire to be fully sustainable, it’s tough to get there while working a full-time job. Every year, we get closer and closer. Come with us as we reflect on this year and look forward to the upcoming change of season. Wishing you well this New Year- Lynds and Cheo
