We started a homestead from scratch with zero experience in one year. It isn't perfect and we made a lot of mistakes but there is a vegetable garden, chickens, pigs and goats and that's something.
Over the past year we have learned and accomplished more than we thought possible but exactly what we had set out to do. It was a lot of jumping in before we were ready and that's not right for everybody but that's how we tend to do things.
Homesteading in Nova Scotia was an option for us because we were able to afford to buy land and a home while being a reasonable proximity to work and we were close to family for our kids. It was a leap of faith at the time but I think that our motto (excuse) of "You can do anything for a year" helped us to just go for it.
This year we learned what it is like to keep laying hens, build a garden fence, plant a garden, raise pigs, chickens and goats for food. The season isn't quite over yet but we wanted to share a one year anniversary to buying this home and appreciate all that we've done so far.

We are Jenny and Dominic and we moved from BC to Nova Scotia in Summer 2020 to learn to grow our own food. We are trying to live more sustainably and stop throwing away so much spoiled produce. We are releasing a vlog every Sunday to share what we have accomplished in the world of growing food (and a little of life in Nova Scotia).
