    Awesome list! We are by no means traditional homesteaders over here at Homestead and Chill (vegetarians, so no raising animals for meat) but cover a huge variety of modern homesteading how-to’s and tips – on topics such as fermenting foods, backyard chickens, supporting wildlife, building your soil with compost, raising monarchs, natural health remedies, growing organic cannabis at home, and tons of great vegan and vegetarian recipes. Come say hi! We’d love to have you. https://homesteadandchill.com/
