Homesteading is a hard journey to do alone.  In this episode we talk to Indy Guy about different local groups and how to find them.  This is such a great conversation on how to find community and the importance of it.

Rock Bridge Farmstead has grown over the years. Homesteading definitely takes time, so if you are just getting started, don’t be discouraged! Our farm began in 2014 when we bought our first home, planted our first large garden and purchased our first chickens and goats. It was a dream come true!

Everything we do on our farmstead we do as a family. We have two amazing children who participate in almost every part of homestead life. Our projects take a little longer because our kids help, ask questions and learn as we do those projects. We take every opportunity to spend time in nature, and educate our children about the important things in life.

Chloe from The Highland Emus and Co. was absolutely a joy to talk to! She knows so much about emus and we talk all things hatching, raising and enjoying these amazing animals. We also dive into what homesteading in Scotland is like. We are confident you'll love this episode!

June has been a busy month just like every other month of spring and summer. We've been lucky enough to make new friends at the farmers market and in our community. We were also very blessed to see old friends from Tennessee and West Virginia. Never a dull moment around here!

June for a beekeeper is is a VERY busy time.  Not only are we in the final push for honey before summer but it's also prime market season.  Once we have that beautiful liquid gold, we have to sell it.  Bryan is heavy  in the market scene and we do a few here and there above our weekly farmers market.  Hope you enjoy this months bee chat!

RNs to Reindeer Farmers! COVID wasn't all bad! It caused us to rethink our lives working in a busy 60 bed ER to moving two states away to open a reindeer farm. We now have 6 reindeer and do small group tours for eager reindeer learners. We also keep bees and have chickens, turkeys, and two new piglets. We enjoy our simpler country life and look forward to more magic to come.

On this episode we talk about our very first farmers market. It was such a refreshing time being part of a greater community.  We took our observation hive with us, and everyone really seemed to enjoy it.  Swarm season for us is officially on, and we are at 5, maybe 6 swarms caught in swarm traps.  Catching swarms is so much fun and a great way to add numbers to your apiary.

I've always been a gardener at heart, even in my early years. Growing food stirred something in my heart that I didn't quite understand, and has lead to preserving our harvests, cheesemaking, soapmaking, bread baking, mycology, beekeeping and so much more. We live outside Raleigh, NC, and utilize our 1/3 acre where we live as well as 10 acres that we purchased 4 years ago. My goal is to inspire my family, friends and others in our community and around the world to do something...whatever that may be...that helps to bring peace of mind and sustainability to them.
