Our Journey back to Homesteading

“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others."
-- 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

A Few of the more Fun Projects this week

February 19, 2014 by Jason Diehl Leave a Comment

This week I was pretty beat up from moving concrete and digging holes. My mother-in-law helped with the concrete, and Ashley did what she could but being pregnant kept her from helping with any lifting.

So over the last few months we keep adding more and more around our homestead. We have aquaponics over there, a barn over here, chickens and goats going down there. I even set up a deer feeder on the very back of the property for bringing in some deer for hunting season. I’ve discovered that […]

Status Update on the Tractor

June 22, 2013 by Jason Diehl 1 Comment

A couple months ago we bought a tractor. We just needed something larger to be able to take care of the 10 acres we live on. It’s a 1947 Ford 8N. An oldie but a goodie. Unfortunately, I’m not that skilled at driving tractors. I thought I could pull a pole out of the ground […]
