It's now time for us to start embracing the much needed cold that winter brings.

Every morning we walk barefoot out in the frost, so that our feet know what more is to come. A dip in the creek is also on our to-do list.

While it's always nice to be inside by the fire, we encourage you to love all temperatures, especially the chillier ones. Adjust slowly and live more fully than ever before! Embrace the cold, stand under a cold shower, face the gusty wind, get outside and remember what it's like to be part of nature. If you wish to love living on Earth, you've got to become part of it ♥

Almost carving time!!

It's -3°C this morning, so the homegrown pumpkins are chilling on the deck instead of the stairs. Can't wait to see their magical transformation 🎃🎃🎃

Rewilding is about respecting the space of all cre

Rewilding is about respecting the space of all creatures. They have every right to be here as we do, perhaps even more so.

Such is the case of the fox in our yard. Locals may disagree with their presence and their ability to find suitable chickens for their dietary needs, but what they fail to see is the pressure on their survival caused by the vast amount of sheep in the surrounding forests and the overly many shepherd dogs that travel with them. There is nothing to say about ground dwelling birds such as pheasants or quail, because they also cannot deal with the omnipresence of man and the creatures kept for our personal purposes.

When something in nature is out of balance, something has to give. Recently, a fox ate it's dinner on the stone steps to our home. We are grateful that he or she felt safe here. Every animal needs to eat. Think twice about chasing every wild creature away, they may just need a safe place for a single evening, never to be seen again...

2021 canning season is officially over!!

If you haven't yet gotten into the act of preserving your own food, next year is a fantastic time to start. Need some inspiration to grow your pantry - and the fruits and vegetables to fill it? Head over to @ruralsprout for ideas aplenty.

Garden like you mean it, preserve food like it is your birthright and enjoy life without fear, because we all deserve that much - and more.

Some new additions to put away in the pantry, only in need of some labels...

Despite it being a slow gardening season, we've been able to find all that we need at the market, buying from local farmers and growers to ensure that financial support goes into working hands, not corporations.

I know it's not always easy (or convenient) to think about food miles, yet if we want to make a sustainable change, maybe we need to change our diets to what grows where we are. Naturally, this includes foraging too. For our part, canning season is officially over until next year June. Plenty of food for winter, with more than enough to share.

Just as a reminder, we don't own a fridge or freezer. Besides storing potatoes, onions, apples and squashes in the cellar, this is our way of preserving food. If it looks like much, it is. Consider that we can go weeks, even months, without shopping for basic ingredients. Jar by jar, it will all turn into energy for life on the homestead, as well as turning into creativity for writing and other artistic projects.

Are you prepared for winter?
