Self sufficiency

Live Self sufficient on your Homestead
Living on a homestead or hobby farm, growing vegetables and raising animals for food means that we can be in charge of our food supply and where our food comes from.

It's very rewarding and a natural lifestyle. We know that our animals are happy, healthy and cared for. We are cooking and eating the freshest most natural ingredients every day.

I grew up in a town and lived in town and cities most of my life. From a young age I can remember dreaming of living in the country on a farm. The dream of a rural lifestyle and living of the land grew as I got older and I became passionate about good, sustainable food. That's what inspired our move to a homestead on a lifestyle block 6 years ago.

In this section you can read about my food journey, tips and guides on how I grow and gather food as well as how I cook and eat self-sufficient as much as possible.
We are making the most out of our land by growing food and raising sheep and chickens for meat and eggs.
Each season has something fresh and exiting to bring when hobby farming. You can read about the different seasons here, what they bring and how I cook and eat self sufficient food all your around. It’s busy but very simple and without expensive set up costs or equipment’s.

Instead, it's about going back to basics, eating seasonally using the freshest most natural ingredients.

You can find many of my recipes here. They are mostly simple weekday meals that I cook for my family utilizing what’s available around me at the time.
