Hello everyone and I hope you all have been having a great week so far. If you recall last week, we kicked the year off with a small survey to get an idea of the things people were doing on their homesteads. Today, I wish to share those survey results with you and hope to give you inspiration for things that you can do as well. [Read more…] about Homesteading Survey Results
