So I have been keeping a major secret for a month now because I’ve been too scared BUTTTTTTT I BOUGHT THE FARM! Cute 3 bed house on just under 2 acres for me and the herd! This will be a huge move so we will be taking the summer to sort everything out and enjoy our home in Mount Vernon while we still can, but a new chapter awaits. Stay tuned for lots of pictures and projects going on in the new place. And keep me and my family in your thoughts while we make some big transitions. Lots of love and good vibes 💛💛💛

The flu bug has hit parts of the Beatty house this week slowing us wayyyyy down and shaking things up, but that's life!🤷‍♀️ I have spent a bit too much extra time on Facebook and found a few items that I have been wanting to start dabbling in...a vacuum sealer and a pressure cooker/canner!! I am so excited we bought an enormous amount of baby carrots and meat on sale at Kroger so I can try my hand. Heres to hoping and any tips and advice is always welcomed!! 🤩🤩Hopefully by summer I will have the hang of things so I can save all the veggies we grow!!

Today Abigail Beatty and I went to rural king to pick up some feed and essentials for the animals and as we were checking out the cashier began to give his spiel about their credit card and he said "it would really help farmers like you" OMG "farmers" I guess we kind of are farmers, but it sounds much more real/cool when someone else says it!! 🤠🤠

Waking up to snow this morning has me feeling very thankful I got to spend some time outside yesterday! Take a look at our carrots.. these guys are the remnants of last years garden they have been growing wild all winter. I have neglected these a bit with the cold and now with another cold snap the garden will still be a dream, but its so cool to see what we can do even when we aren't trying! Nature is awesome!!🥕🥕🥕

We took Simon out to get some fresh air and pulled some carrots I planted last season!! Its so gratifying to see something you grew from seed helping to feed the members of the homestead. Although Simon didn't seem to mind the extra dirt we will be taking them in to wash before the rest of the members of the homestead have some!! What should I make for dinner tonight?? I'm thinking something with carrots 🤣🤣🥕🥕

Abby has been hard at work behind the scenes redesigning our logo a little bit so it could include our bunnies! She is such a talented artist and just know that any picture or flier you might see in the future she made!! We have some exciting things that we will be sharing coming this weekend so stay tuned! 🐰🐰

Today was one of those days that didn't quite go to my plans. I thought this morning when I woke up I would be able to tackle my appointments and buy things from marketplace and get the groceries and start a major project and post on social media.... 🫨ARE YOU EVEN STILL READING?!?!🫨 Just writing that many things seemed like too much!! So instead the kids and I took some time to get our hands dirty and make some memories as a family. As important as all that stuff seemed in the moment...THIS is what its all about. I love to see their little helping hands and they love to learn and watch right along with me. It reminds me why I started all this in the first place; them. Teaching our children where food comes from and the work it takes to get there is so important for their over all well being. These girls are learning so much work, dedication, but most importantly love. They get to see first hand how you can take something so small, whether it be a seed or a chick, and love and nurture that thing into something that will then provide for you. How cool!!

Here's the girls starting our seeds for spring. Everything was purchased from the Dollar Tree for under $10, except for the potting mix we picked up at Rural King! Here is to hoping for some sprouts🤞 Is anyone else starting seeds, or are you guys doing something else to get you ready for the season?🌿🌷🌻

Hi everyone and welcome to our little slice of heaven! We are just getting into this little homestead thing here in the heart of Mount Vernon, surviving our first rather mild winter! There will be lots of exciting things happening here at the homestead and I can't wait to take all of you along for the ride.
Since we are all getting used to each other here I will start off by introducing our herd, it starts with my mom Lala (Robin Bonsky), then me (Maddie) my wife (Abigail Beatty), our 2 amazing girls and all the animals! There's 8 chickens: Ruby, Pearl, Emerald, Sapphire, Flower, Pinky, Dolce, and Dorothy. There's 2 bunnies Gus and Simon, 2 dogs Raya and Baxter, and far too many cats starting with Elsa, Anna, and Olaf naturally, Sadie Grace and Sparkle Boy and trickling down to the 2 stray cats that came in this winter because at some point why not...?!
This week at the homestead the chickens are finally getting back to work after taking the winter off, as they should no one should have to work when its THAT cold out, but they laid a whopping 9 eggs Saturday followed by 2 more on Sunday! They boys haven't done much, but they sure are cute lol

PS if you already read this once today, nope you really did read that right... that's how many animals Abby has let me come home with!!
