From Garden Dreams to Reality
Trust me—if you’ve got the desire, you can find a way to grow your own food, nurture it, harvest it, preserve it, and finally, enjoy the mouthwatering satisfaction of eating the fruits of your labor! Hello, friends! I’m Samantha Minney, and this is my homestead blog. Let’s dive into the wonderful world of growing your own food and why it’s one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.
When I first started down the homesteading path, I had a million and one questions. I thought I knew everything there was to know about gardening, farming, and storing food for the winter. After all, I saw Grandma do it—how hard could it be?
Well, let me tell you, my first garden was a complete disaster. EPIC fail. But instead of throwing in the towel, I realized it was time to gain some real knowledge. So, I did what any determined homesteader would do—I turned to books.
Books became my best friends, guiding me through the ins and outs of farming and gardening. My first book was a gem I discovered through a quick Amazon search. Convenient shopping? Yes, please! With a click of a button, my farming journey began with a package delivered right to my door.
👉https://amzn.to/3JKwpH5 👈Pastured Poultry Profits by Joel Salatin was the book that got me started, and it sparked a fire in me to raise chickens for meat and eggs. This book didn’t just answer my questions—it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. I realized I could turn my love for farming into a business. I could make money doing what I loved!
As a stay-at-home mother of two, growing the best food possible for my family’s health was a top priority. The idea of adding a little extra income while doing so made perfect sense. So, I bought the book, studied every page, and before I knew it, I was in the farming business. And guess what? Twenty years later, I’m still raising meat for my family.
If you’re curious about how to start your own journey in homesteading, whether it’s raising chickens, growing a garden, or both, let me tell you—it all starts with a decision. The first step is deciding to take the plunge. The second is learning everything you can. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re already knee-deep in your homesteading adventure, remember this: Grow where you’re planted! Start where you are and watch your dreams bloom.
