Welcome to Hummingbird Acres….. We want to help you create your Dream Homestead!!

For us it all started with Poison Ivy and a google search. Where Mr. Google Pants taught us how to get rid of it and introduced us to Homesteading!! Along with homesteading came our gardening obsession, sourdough and permaculture. Needless to say we jumped head first into all things homesteading. We love sharing our adventures and what we have learned, with the hope that you will join us on this crazy homesteading adventure.

FALSE!!

Having tons of money is not a requirement to start a homestead!

We started homesteading as a way to save money!

Now we say hundreds of dollars every month by getting creative and asking other for help. We need to move the camper but didn’t have the truck. What else could we use?

ask a friend? use the tractor? do nothing….

With a little creative thinking and problem solving anything is possible.

I put together a guide that will help you start homesteading today!! Comment “HOMESTEAD” and I’ll send you the link to grab it so you can start saving money.

I know this might be controversial, but I don’t clean my starter jar every day. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not a fan of doing lots of dishes.

If you’re like me and also use the same jar to feed your starter, there’s an easy way to keep track of how much starter is in there. Simply weigh your jar before adding anything to it and write down the weight. Then, when you weigh your jar with the starter, subtract the weight of the jar and feed as usual. It’s a simple solution 👍🏼

So, how often do you clean your starter jar? Let’s discuss!

Frustrated because you don’t know what to fill your garden with?

That was me when we first started our Raised Bed Garden. I had no idea what to fill our beds with and everything seemed soo expensive!

I wish I would have taken more time to research different ways to fill a raised garden bed AND asked some of our local farmers/homesteaders what they used and the results they had.

I don’t want you to struggle with your raised bed garden! So we created the “How to Fill a Raised Garden Bed on a Budget” guide.

With this guide you’ll know exactly what you need to fill your raised garden bed to get the maximum harvest.

Many sourdough bakers struggle with accumulating a large amount of sourdough discard, which can be wasteful. They search for recipes that can help them utilize the discard effectively.

This was a common problem for me until... I learned how to use the discard in everyday dishes.

I have put all of our favorite sourdough discard recipes into one cookbook and can`t wait to share it with you.
