Y’all…….I’ve been keeping a secret from you. Most of you know we got peacocks. 🦚

BUT I bet you didn’t know we have been building their coop with a huge attached octagon aviary!! Of course it has turned out to be bigger in real life than in my head but oh well. Go big or go home! That makes three coops for Brandt acres!

Who’s excited to see it all finished?!?!?

One thing about homesteading or just gardening for that matter is the work is never done…..we have grown in this space for now 3 years and each year it evolves in how we grow, what we grow, and our level of focus.

Some years our garden is terrible and some years it’s immaculate sometimes due to detail and sometimes due to weather.

All this to say, this is a journey….enjoy it, be it, LIVE IT! It’s an experience like no other! I’m just here to share what I’m learning and hopefully to inspire you to get out and get your hands dirty!!

PS: don’t stress if your garden isn’t magazine worthy with painted fences and overflowing baskets of flowers and veggies….just be excited you are growing some food!

A lot of people wonder why we can? The answer is simple: preservation.

Home canning is a common self-sufficiency and homesteading skill that has been done for GENERATIONS. By home canning you can preserve the fruits, vegetables and meats you grow and produce on your homestead for the years to come.

It’s economic, green, and having a stockpile of healthy, home-grown foods gives us a sense of security that while we can’t predict the future, we know at least we’ll have food on the table.

AND when the season is done we miss those sweet peaches and juicy tomatoes so preserving is a great way to have those veggies and fruits year round.

Canning was originally used in the 1800s as a way to preserve food for the army and navy. But it would take another 100 years before home canning became popular. We have seen the peaks of home canning during times of strife but it is a great skill to have! I hope you’ll try your hand at it soon!

Hey Friends! Long time no see! Life has been crazy lately!

Pictures is some beautiful and delicious Okinawa okra! Known for its pink color in the fruit and stock of the plant!

It’s been about 6 weeks without a real good rain and over a 100 degrees everyday. It’s doing a real number on our trees and plants. Every night we are watering different parts of the property just trying to keep things alive.

A few weeks ago we lost 5 birds to a dog attack, a Guinea the week before and we are nursing one back still from the puncture wounds of the dog.

But on the good side we are thankful to have access to water for the plants that are alive and a garden that is giving us enough to can and eat! Always something to be thankful for!

LOOK how big these leaves are! My first year of harvesting rhubarb and I love it, and I want more! AND you should grow some too!

Rhubarb has SO many benefits besides it’s delicious tangy taste!

🌿 Rhubarb is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyaninsand proanthocyanidins. These antioxidants have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

🌿 The tannins in rhubarb stalks have been found to improve digestion and gut health. Rhubarb is also rich in fiber to help prevent constipation.

🌿 Rhubarb stalks are rich in vitamin K, a key nutrient in improving bone density and lowering the risk of fractures.

It’s a great day to spend working in the garden! I got 58 of my tomatoes in the ground. Hearing the birds and the chickens and sweating while the dirt sticks to my legs it reminded me of my favorite quote. “To grow a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

I used my w**d fabric from . My auger from . Drip tape from And Mixed in with some Garden tone to give a nice slow release through out the season. I’m thankful for this garden/farm community that has helped me find so many great tools to make me more successful with my time and land!

Hey Everyone! Happy #❤️MYFARM SaTuRdAy! Our theme today is Preparedness!

With food shortages and rising costs at the store, starting a garden and working with your local farmers is a must!

Here we have my go to kit to save all that summer produce you can’t eat quick enough!

1. Canning lids and Jars! has some amazing canning products! They are reliable and in stock something that is hard to find during canning season. I love that they are American made and fit universally on all regular or wide mouth cans! They are a great way to reuse your old glass jars to preserve all that great produce.
2. Mylar bags! Azure market has the best quality and price I can find on the market. Mylar bags are an essential to long term food storage, they keep oxygen and pests out all in a clean and sealable package.
3. Berkey Water filter! has a game changing filtration system that cleans out harsh chemicals, metals, bacteria, pathogens and more! Berkey filtered water is great to use in canning solutions and making sourdough. Their clean water is reliable and efficient for even the worst of situations.

🐓Chicken coop requirements🏠 🐥Security: First, you must ensure your coop helps to prevents predators. Predators that may try to gain access to your chickens include foxes, hawks, cats and dogs. When looking at the chicken wire or wire mesh of chicken coops, it’s best to go for at least 10 mm by 10 mm or smaller to prevent any type of unwanted visitor finding their way into your hen’s home.🐥Ventilation: An ideal chicken house will also need to provide enough ventilation to prevent your chickens from developing any type of respiratory disease. At the same time, your coop should not be too drafty. A coop with high points of ventilation is a good idea for colder climates.🐥Space: In terms of interior space, try to allow a minimum of half a square metre per chicken. This will give your chicken ample room to roost and nest. If your chickens are to be confined to a chook coop and chicken run and will not have any free range time, try to allow a minimum of one square metre per chicken.🐥Cleanliness: Regular cleaning of the coop is important for the health and happiness of your chickens. A good rule to live by is making sure you give your coop a thorough clean once a month and a small clean out once a week. ••••••#brandtacres #chickens #chickencoop #chickencoopsofinstagram #fancychickencoop #fancychickens #fresheggsdaily #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #farmhouseliving #cottageandbungalows #cottagestyle #farmlife #southernliving #countryliving #coopsofinstagram #farmhouseinspired #farmhouse #cottagecharm #smallfarmcharm #backyardchickens #urbanfarming #chickenlife #chicken #backyardpoultrymag #smallfarmcharm #❤️myfarm #backyardpoultry #iamcountryside

🥚 How to sell your extra eggs! 🍳 It’s unlikely you will become a millionaire when you sell backyard chicken eggs. However, you should be able to generate a small income that can at least cover feed costs.If you have a small number of eggs to sell weekly, the customer base may be friends and family. But, if you have more eggs to sell, you will need to start looking further.Check around your area to see where you may be able to sell.You can either build your stand or use a small garden shed for the task. Unless you have many other things for sale, a small homemade frame will probably be sufficient. Make it simple and fit your needs.You cannot use ‘brand name’ egg cartons since you are not selling the ‘brand’ eggs.However, you can purchase new egg cartons inexpensively from your local farm or garden store.If your eggs are tasty, reasonably priced, and local, you will probably have more customers than eggs, especially in the winter months.•••••#brandtacres #chickens #chickencoop #chickencoopsofinstagram #fancychickencoop #fancychickens #fresheggsdaily #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #farmhouseliving #cottageandbungalows #cottagestyle #farmlife #southernliving #countryliving #coopsofinstagram #farmhouseinspired #farmhouse #cottagecharm #smallfarmcharm #backyardchickens #urbanfarming #chickenlife #chicken #backyardpoultrymag #smallfarmcharm #❤️myfarm #backyardpoultry #iamcountryside

Where it all started.

Hi everyone, my name is Taylor Brandt I am the founder of Brandt Acres. I’m currently in school for a B.S. in Food Science with minors in Agribusiness and Horticulture. My passion for food started at a young age, my whole family cooked, we always had a garden life was pretty amazing. But I wanted to take my passion and turn it into something around Spring Break 2017 we visited Atlanta, GA and stayed at one of the coolest B&B’s ever, they had chickens, turkeys, goats, ducks all surrounding this amazing property. I fell in love, I knew I wanted to do something with food but running my own urban farm had never been an idea. With Arkansas having close to 50% of the population on some sort of food stamps I knew I had to help combat that. SOOOO here we are, learning through trial and error before the big moves must be made to bring back cooking and cultivating food into the everyday American home. Follow along as we go to market with our produce and change the start of Arkansas!
