What’s Inside?

From Anna Sakawsky, Editor-in-Chief:

“As we move into the heart of the season, it’s a perfect time to reflect on how we can live more intentionally, both on the homestead and in other areas of our life. It’s a time to slow down and enjoy time with loved ones, to savor the fruits of our labor, and to consider how each choice we make can either move us closer to or farther away from the life we truly want to live.

My hope is that this issue inspires you to make choices that honor your values and encourages you to continue building a life you’re proud of, even—and perhaps especially—if it goes against the status quo.”

From creating a “parallel universe” to the time-saving art of batch baking … the November 2024 issue will inspire you to intentional living!

Here are the homesteading articles waiting for you inside …

NOVEMBER 2024

A Family Affair by Anna Sakawsky

Josh and Carolyn Thomas have built a life of purpose on their North Idaho homestead, raising 11 children and producing most of their own food. Their story is truly inspiring, and demonstrates how living with intention and prioritizing faith and family can help you build your homesteading dream sustainably and leave a lasting legacy.

Opting Out by Joel Salatin

Joel Salatin encourages us to create a “parallel universe” by focusing on what we can do with our own resources, and building community-reliance through local relationships. This approach helps us become more independent of broken systems, resilient, and connected to our communities — ultimately crafting a more meaningful and sustainable way of life.

Navigating Cottage Food Laws by Jacob R. Lauser

Navigating cottage food laws might seem tricky, but it’s a game-changer for homesteaders looking to sell what they grow or make. With a little research, planning, and creativity, you can legally and profitably turn your homestead into a small business, all while sharing your harvest with your community.

Practical Home Herbalism by Kaylee Richardson

Setting up your own home herbal apothecary is easier than you think. You likely already have most of the tools and herbs you need right in your kitchen! Start small, using familiar herbs like thyme or garlic, and enjoy the process of learning how to craft simple, natural remedies for your family.

Exotic Edibles by Sean Jennings

For our friends in southern climates, winter is a fantastic time to grow tropical fruits like bananas, papayas, and even sugar cane! With the right microclimate, you can enjoy year-round harvests of exotic edibles. Start slow, plan well, and soon you can have a garden full of tropical delights!

Batch-Baking Secrets by Melissa K. Norris

Batch-baking saves you tons of time in the kitchen! By prepping all your baking for the week in just one hour, you’ll have homemade bread, muffins, biscuits, and more ready to go. It’s perfect for busy homesteaders who want to cook from scratch without spending all day in the kitchen.

Skin-Nourishing Goat’s Milk Soap by Donna Stoll

With simple ingredients and tools you may already have, you can create gentle, nourishing soap that’s perfect for sensitive skin. Plus, it makes great gifts and smells amazing!

Staying Healthy on the Homestead by Carolyn Thomas

Staying healthy through winter on the homestead starts with prevention. Carolyn Thomas shares simple tips like eating gut-friendly fermented foods, drinking bone broth, and using immune-boosting herbs like elderberry. By preparing ahead, lowering stress, and having remedies ready, you can keep illness at bay and stay strong all season long.
