Welcome to the page dedicated to the products I love to use on my homestead. Here you will find one stop shopping for all your home and garden needs.
As someone who values old-fashioned living and being intentional to ensure self-sufficient skills are being passed to the next generation, I have carefully curated a collection of products that I have enjoyed using as a modern homesteader. While these products are shared throughout the blog, I have created a single page to simplify shopping for the items you are looking for to improve your homestead. From gardening tools and organic fertilizers to kitchen needs and sustainable home goods, each product on this page reflects my love of this lifestyle and are products that I recommend to my friends! I hope you as you try these products, they will help you to further your skills as a homesteader.
Garden
This set is wonderful to keep all of your tolls organized and in reach when you need them. You can purchase HERE.
Seed Starting Stand with Grow Lights
Gardening starts when it’s still cold outside and snow on the ground. This sturdy stand with grow lights has all you need to get a head start with seed starting. Purchase HERE
If you’re feeling handy and want to build your own seed starting stand. Or if you are needing a single grow light, here she is. Purchase HERE.
It took me a while to purchase this, but once I did it was a game changer. Our home gets chilly at nights, and this encourages the right temperature seedlings need to thrive. Purchase HERE.
These are the seed cells I use as vessels to start my seedlings. Purchase HERE. As my plants get a little bigger and outgrow the container, I graduate to these larger vessels. Purchase HERE.
Potting mix makes a huge difference in the health of your seedlings. This is my favorite. Purchase HERE
There’s really no other explanation needed for this product, other than it was a complete game changer for me. If you love organization or you just need a little more organization in your life, do yourself a favor and get this organizer. You will thank yourself later. Purchase HERE. I also purchase THIS label maker to mark each container.
Since I have switched my gardening methods from the traditional rototill method to a permaculture method, this broad fork tool has been one of the handiest tools I have in my garden. It breaks up the ground enough to plant seeds and to create loose soil to give plants room to grow and expand without compromising the biochemistry of the soil like a rototiller does. Purchase HERE
My parents had this tool growing up. After I do the initial broad fork work to loosen the soil, I got over the very top of my row to get rid of any dirt clumps. This doesn’t turn your soil like a tiller, so it is safe to use if you are doing a no till method. Purchase HERE.
Let’s be honest, weeding it probably the least enjoyable part of gardening. This tool has completely changed my mind. It is so easy to use, and it really does a beautiful job. Purchase HERE
This tool was intended to be used for smaller gardens, but a couple years ago I figured out a way to use it in my large garden. As a result, my harvest doubled. If you are gardening in a small or large space and want to increase your food yield, this is the tool you need. Purchase HERE.
This is my favorite form of natural fertilizer for my garden. It’s a little stinky, but I can notice my plants looking happier in just a short amount of time. This is one of my secrets to beautiful, healthy plants. Purchase HERE.
This stuff is a staple. I have always been very particular about the way I handle pests in my garden. I don’t use any harsh chemicals, but I also don’t want my garden taken over by grasshoppers. This stuff is AMAZZING. Not only can you use it in your garden to kill pests, but it is also a great de-wormer for animals and humans alike. It is called Diatomaceous Earth also referred to as DE, and it is a staple on the homestead. It also gets rid of fleas and mites on animals. Make sure to use a mask anytime you handle. It is not recommended to breath in the particles that may be in the air. Purchase HERE.
Last summer I discover this handy-dandy little dispenser that makes getting your Diatomaceous Earth into your garden much easier and effective. I absolutely love this product. Purchase HERE.
These little clips are great to support your tomato plants as they grow and produce. Purchase HERE.
These are so nostalgic and a great tool to carry your garden produce to your home.
You definitely can grow a beautiful garden without these, but why would you want to? I added THESE to my garden space last summer, and it turned into a completely magical space that was a sanctuary for me to relax at the end of a hard day.
Preserving
Electric Pressure Canner-This was an investment that I was so glad to have made. While I love doing my pressure canning outdoors like my grandpa taught me, this makes everything SO easy. You can set the pressure and time and walk away. Purchase HERE.
