The ground is covered in white, fluffy snow, and we’ve been enjoying the season while trying to stay healthy!

Before we get into today’s podcast episode, we wanted to share a new discovery (because maybe you missed it, too?)… American Blossom Linens sells pillows! They’re filled with 100% USA-grown wool, and we already have them on their way to our home. We’ll keep you posted on what we think!

If you missed our previous episodes, where we discussed how 2025 is a year of rest for us and what’s happening on the homestead in January, be sure to check those out. Otherwise, enjoy today’s podcast episode below!

In This Episode:
- Get your copy of the Homestead Kitchen magazine delivered right to your door!
- Sign up for the Homestead Kitchen membership and join our preparedness challenge.
- With our barn-management systems, this time of year the animals are only taking about 30 minutes a day!
- We’re doubling up on lessons and taking care of homeschooling on the homestead.
- Getting our onions started from seed and planning out the rest of our seed-starting systems.
- Planning and expanding the kitchen gardens and planting a cut flower section!
- We’re also planning to grow more crops for animal feed (these include winter squashes, pumpkins and corn).
- Finally, we’re excited to experiment more with growing sunflowers. We plan on growing and pressing our own seed oil to use in soap making and other cosmetics and to help offset the cost of other oils we still need to purchase.
