Hi everyone, we have a tone of new comers here and I've been absent. I want you all to know that I will be returning this week, I've been really busy with some big markest I did and working off the farm. I'm taking this entire next week off so I can focus on the farm and my social media. Please if you haven't introduce yourselves and your new please do, feel free to share where your at in the journey and please ask any questions or voice any concerns you'd have in the questions section as I will be looking there daily. I have actually turned on notifications for this app, I try not to do that, so I don't forget about it.

Finally got the starters planted and the ones I had to buy. What’s everyone else’s garden looking like? Excited for anything? We happened to find the peppers they use in Tabasco sauce and my oldest son and I are going to attempt to make some.

Welcome everyone to Homesteading Made Simple, please introduce yourself. Let everyone know where you're from, what your experience leve is, and what you hope to learn here in our community. I'll go first, my name is Megan, I live on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada on a little 2 acre homestead we call Sun Twist Acres. I've been homesteading for almost 15 years, we grow a majority of our own food and preserve it here on the homestead. We have chickens and ducks for eggs and meat, and goats for milk and meat. We have raised pigs, turkeys, and geese in the past. I teach, canning, basic cooking skills, soapmaking, cheese making, bread making, gardening, animal husbandry, and more. Through this community I hope to pass on the knowledge I have spent many years perfecting so others who dream of a life like this can achieve it. Welcome and thank you so much for joining me here, this community is your safe place to grow and learn real skills for real life. Now it's your turn🥰

How is your sourdough journey going? I'm working hard on my master class, It'll be up soon.

The price of gas is really getting out of hand in my opnion. I'm shocked us humans haven't figured something else out yet, I mean something that really works because EV'S are not the answer. So I know we have people from all over the world on here and I'm curious what gas prices are in your area. Here in BC Canada where I am, on the coast so close to Vancouver, the price just went from about $1.76 a liter to $2.13, the highest I've ever seen it. I'm also curious if this is affecting your day to day lives, like are you driving less or going out less because it's to expensive? Or car pooling more, stuff like that. And how bad is the rest of inflation in your area, food prices mostly because they're something we all have to buy. I guess I'm just curious if we're all feeling this in the whole world at the same time? I also would like to point out the fact that everyone here is on the right path weather your actively running a homestead, growing a garden, raising your own meat or just looking into it, at least your trying to do something to take care of yourself. Be the change I guess
