'Get To the Farm' 10 Must-See Channels
10Hi there its Sue with Get to the Farm
Homesteading is a lifestyle that has gained popularity in recent years, as more and more people seek to live a simpler and more self-sufficient existence. Homesteading involves growing your own food, raising animals, and generally living off the land. Moving to a homestead can be a big and exciting step, but it also requires careful planning and preparation.
Homesteading requires a wide range of skills, from gardening and animal husbandry to carpentry and plumbing. Learning new skills and making tough decisions is an essential aspect of homesteading life. It is important to be willing to learn and to be patient with yourself as you develop these new skills.
Adding animals to your homestead is a big step, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Raising chickens, goats, or pigs can provide you with fresh eggs, milk, and meat.
Brewing kombucha is another popular activity among homesteaders. Kombucha is a fermented tea that is believed to have many health benefits. Enjoying the homesteading life is all about finding joy in the simple things, like watching the sun rise over your garden or enjoying a fresh cup of coffee on your front porch.
So let's pull up a seat and learn what other homesteaders are up to this week.

While store-bought kombucha is readily available, many people choose to brew their own at home. Some benefits of brewing your own kombucha include:
Brewing your own kombucha can be much cheaper than buying it at the store. You can control the quality of the ingredients you use and avoid additives or preservatives that may be present in store-bought kombucha. Plus brewing your own kombucha allows you to experiment with different flavors and ingredients.
It is important to note that improperly brewed kombucha can grow molds which may be harmful to consume. Always follow proper fermentation and storage practices to ensure the safety of your homemade kombucha.
