Hello Country Porch Friends!

LINK UP ABOVE!!!


My name is Heidi.  


I am Jon's mom  


and Jerry's wife


I am a farmgirl at heart, though I actually live on a small suburban homestead.  


I have three furbabies 


Coco, chocolate, and Sugarplum


I quilt


I garden


I am in my 3rd year of college for plant science


my goal is to become self-sufficient


so I am learning all I can about homemaking


food production


old fashioned skills


like food preservation


by canning


dehydrating


fermentation


seed saving


crop production


and how to enjoy the harvest.


I have only been blogging since July, and I have already learned so much from the generous men and women in the blog community.  

If you enjoy friends, family, and homemaking, please hop on over to my blog and join me in the conversation.

    Hello, Heidi! I found you through Ester's Country Porch Blog Party! I think you and I have many of the same things in common! I'd love to be self sufficient. I love to can preserve as much of our food as I can! I will have to keep up with you, so I can learn what you know! ;)

    So glad to meet up with you via the blog party. Wow, love your site. I am sure I am going to learn much from you. I am still trying to do some desert gardening here in AZ, but not to successfully. Quite different from eastern gardening. I seem to love all the things that you do, and will love spending time here.

    Gen,
    Candy C. who commented to this post after you lives in your region and is an experienced gardener, homesteader, rancher, chicken mom, etc. I believe that if you follow her blog, you'll learn many things that will be helpful for your zone. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to visiting your blog too.

    I found your blog via Esther's blog party, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm a mere novice in the canning/food preservation department, but I do want to learn more. We have 3 furbabies at home, too, but ours are of the feline variety. They're a lot of fun, but I'm glad they can't tell about some of my homemaking mishaps (or "learning experiences", as I call them). Nice to "meet" you!

    Hi Amy and welcome to my blog. We all start at the beginnning and little by little it all falls into place.

    There are loads of great blogs out there in the blogosphere, but the few on the right side bar of this blog have been invaluable resources for me so far.

    Hi Tascha! Thanks for stopping by. I grew up a city kid with a family garden and I am hooked. Was a great gift to give your children. Garden skills will always be invaluable tools when times are tough.
