If your sourdough starter exhibits any of these signs:

- Smells like acetone or vinegar
- Has a runny consistency
- Is full of tiny bubbles or foaming
- Doubles in size and then falls back down
- Develops a clear, gray, or black liquid on top
- Gets a white, powdery substance on the surface

It’s time to feed it! These are all indications that your sourdough starter is hungry.

Once the starter doubles in size or more and reaches its peak, it’s ready to be fed. You can feed it at its peak or as it begins to fall back down.

After using the starter at its peak, I usually refeed it and then store it in the fridge for the next week or two until I’m ready to use it again. When I take it out of the fridge, I immediately feed it and then wait for it to double before using it in my bread. Rinse and repeat.

“A starter breathes life into bread. If the loaf is the body, the starter is the soul.” -Marcus Woo

Sourdough starter is THE most important component of sourdough bread. A healthy and active starter can transform bread from flat and dense to light and airy.

Keep your starter happy with these few tips:
💕Feed often. Starter in the fridge should be fed every 7-10 days and daily on the counter.
💕 Keep it warm. Starter thrives in warm environments. Especially in the winter, when waiting for your starter to rise, keep it in a warmer spot in your house. You can also use warmer water when feeding to give it a jump start.
💕 Weigh it out. Ensure you are using equal weight of flour and water. If you are using cups you need to use 1/2 the amount of water as flour.

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 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.

There is a better way👇
