Hello and Welcome! I'm so glad you found our little corner of the internet! The bad news is... As of 2025, no new content is being added to this site. The good news is... There is roughly 15 years of homestead/DIY/backyard-to-diversified farming experiences shared in the posts on this site for you to peruse!

Please, grab the beverage of your choice and enjoy looking around. And if you're interested about what life looks like now (yes, we're still farming, I'm just not writing about it all the time anymore), join me Under the Elderberry Tree. Ever Onward, Melissa

LOVE IS LOVE.

All are welcome, safe, and celebrated here.
