Thanksgiving greetings from our beautiful hills! There are so many things to be thankful for and we are truly blessed. Back at the end of October we were able to get our front pasture tilled under and planted with some pasture seed mix so, Lord willin', we will have new green pasture this spring! I know the horses will appreciate that. :) We are also very grateful for getting our hoop house planted and covered before the frost got too hard. Now we have loads of beautiful greens, kale, swiss chard, lettuce, cabbage and broccoli- perfect for our fresh juices we love to make every morning This is one of the last basket of potatoes harvested from the garden. Yukon Gold, how delicious! We were blessed to have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with some dear friends. The children made this very adorable corn husk doll family. Aren't they cute? I even got to go riding for the first time in a long while. It was so wonderful. After the holiday we got a load of Homestead Blessings Cookbook orders and spent one whole morning packing and shipping. We are so thankful for that and we had so much fun hearing from so many different folks around the world! What a blessing! And last but not least, our first "snow' of the season. It only stuck on the frozen tree tops, but if you were looking up into the trees, you felt like you were in a Winter Wonderland. :)

Howdy Friends! We are happily celebrating a beautiful fall here in Tennessee, thankful for the new season of harvest. Back in September we released our new cd, "Farmers Daughter" just in time for the Mountaineer Folk Festival we were singing at in Pikeville. Wow, those last few weeks were a mad rush and seemed to fly by so fast! The weekend after we had a cd release party hosted at our farm for close friends and family, and everyone had a blast and it was a great success, thanks to the Lord. We had friends bring their music, songs and instruments and there was loads of food too! Here are a few pictures we'd liked to share with y'all from those super fun events! Our new cd, "Farmers Daughter", is now available to order online! You can find it exclusively on our website www.homestead-blessings.com This new Homestead Blessings product is a perfect gift for the holiday season, or to have for any day on the farm!

Also coming very soon the new Homestead Blessings Cookbook!!! Hello y'all and thank you for your sweet comments! We've been busy preparing our garden for winter, and recently helped our neighbor butcher a deer, which was a blessed time of fellowship. We've also been making lots and lots of soap. Our vegetables in our hoop house are off to a great start. We harvested 8 5 gallon buckets of worm castings about a month ago and the wigglers are working hard so we will be harvesting hopefully that much more of Black Golds again in a few days (by the way did you know you can feed these wonder worms to your chickens and that it is pure protein?). We washed wool in tubs and used the left over wash water, which has lanolin and sheep manure, to fertilize our fall garden. Once the cold weather sets in, we will get goin' on our winter crafting projects, and by the way you might check out our Crafting DVD for gift giving ideas for the holiday season!
Have a blessed fall! The West Ladies at Homestead Blessings Well it has been a very busy and exciting summer for us here at Homestead Blessings. Gardening, canning, swimming in the creek, cleaning house, farming, hauling hay and fellowshiping with other like minded believers on the front porch while the sun sank west over the hills. We have had some cooler weather already, a little early this year I think. The other morning we had a fire going in our wood cookstove and it felt so nice and cozy. We are always greatful for fall to come, bringing the cooler beautiful weather and bluegrass festivals in eastern Tennessee. Bluegrass festivals are a wonderful part of our lives and we always look froward to going to them and hearing good music, eating good food and meeting new people. We are currently working on the "Homestead Blessings Cookbook" which will be out sometime this fall, we're hoping. Also coming up soon we'll be filming the next three Homestead Blessings DVD's, so keep an eye out for them. Well,take care ya'll, and may you have many God given homestead blessings!
