REAL FARM STORIES // Most of you following this account can relate to the romantic dream of homesteading deep down in your heart. Often we focus on the beautiful, the joyful, the productive natures of urban or rural homestead life. However, it’s important to recognize that there are difficult, messy and sometimes downright heartbreaking experiences as well. We want to hear your stories and to share them with the community so the realities of homestead or small farm life don’t come as a shock, or lead to a feeling of failure or isolation for others. Share your funny, sad, or difficult stories in our Instagram story question, send us a message, post in the comments, or make your own post and tag @diyfest and #realfarmstories. Every story shared will count as an entry to win a free weekend fest ticket. Closes Jan 29 but you can keep sending stories all the days - we will find ways to share them with you all!

It was an honour to pitch in with the @adagioacres Winter Grain CSA by helping out with Amy’s vision for a few intimate workshops to give CSA members ideas for how to use the grains in their shares. Fantastic teachers, keen learners, and community spirit made for a lovely day of sharing. Thanks to @adagioacres for an amazing event, to @versluisdeb, Laurie Cyr, @jodi.hildebrand and @loafandhoney for your wonderful workshops, and to all the CSA members who joined in!

JOURNAL // Seed testing - a great way for home gardeners and homesteaders to bring some vibrancy into these cold winter months, and prepare for the gardening season ahead. A reboot of an old post from many years back... loving the tiny little hands of our little ones! Link to post in bio.

🌲 It’s official! This leap year, we’re making the leap to a yearly event. That means the next fest takes place *this* August. We’ve got so much goodness taking root and can’t wait to share it with you! Ticket info and teacher/market/food vendor applications coming soon! SAVE THE DATE so you don’t miss out on the best fest yet. 🏕

Hoping to find more of these in the coop as the light returns! Currently about 2-3 per day from the 9 Penderwick hens. We’re also bringing Rosalind into the greenhouse today to tend to a sore foot. Winter chicken care is kind of complicated with a small coop and nowhere to create a separate triage area! Really looking forward to when they can be outdoors more, enjoying the greens, bugs and trees! How are your coops and hens doing this winter?
