Maple Tree in the sugar bush! Do you see the hole from being tapped in a previous year? Eventually it’ll blend right into the tree!!

It’s a beautiful bake day!!

It’s a sunshiny day out

It’s fake springtime

The bakes are coming out wonderfully

Let’s make it a great day y’all!!

Please just love me!!!!!!

I managed to catch Toulouse the Goose this weekend!!!

She was far from pleased.

Try as I may, I can’t get ducks and geese to love me 😅

Chickens love is so much easier to earn

However a chicken will eat you in a hot second if given the chance 🤭

Seeds will be arriving any day now & the first will be started in February
Eggs are heading into the incubator so new layers start laying in mid summer
Growing, raising & preserving our food doesn’t happen overnight.

So many lovely ladies in one photo!!

Do you know where your food comes from?

Here at the Barefoot Lane Homestead, we raise poultry for eggs and meat

We grow food

We hunt, forage and fish for food
We buy local as often as we can

So tasty 😍

Morning bake complete!! 🤤

Time to pickle some jalapeño’s!!
I only use pickled jalapeño’s that I pickle for my baked goods! Typically I prefer to use jalapeño’s that I or another local grower has grown but in the dead of winter, that just isn’t possible!! But the good news is, store bought peppers can be pickled also ☺️

Hi, I’m Christa!!
Here is a little about me:
•I’m a full-time homesteader & baker.

•I think everyone should know where their food comes from & I think the food system is broken

•I like to produce our own food but I also REALLY like candy

•I’m in introvert that pretends to be an extrovert 😂
