vegetables fruit and leftovers in the fridge do not store vegetables wet or in plastic wrap it is imperative to always use a clean knife every time you retrieve a pickle or scoop mayo or mustard to keep them free from contamination some foods can be stored in a dark cool cupboard without refrigeration including ketchup mustard dry grains sugar and honey spices salt vinegars canned food cooking oils onions potatoes garlic bananas and tomatoes always store apples away from other fruits and vegetables as their presence hastens rotting don t keep onions with garlic flavours as their flavours will mingle produce will only store for a short time on the counter or in the fridge be mindful to keep your fridge clean any blood our spills should be washed up immediately with a vinegar solution line the vegetable drawers with newspaper to absorb moisture and help prohibit mould throw away anything that has spoilt immediately remove all food from the fridge and wash down with hot soapy water and rinse with a vinegar solution every month or so clean the dishes and utensils well removing every trace of food particles and grease they should look as brand new when you put them in the cupboard first put the dirty glasses and jars in the sink then add a couple of squirts of dish soap and fill with hot water only let the glasses soak while the water cools enough for you next clean the cutting board and rinse in with undiluted vinegar then wash the dishes and utensils and finally the dirty pots use a clean dishcloth for every sink of dishes change water if it gets too dirty to be effective if possible after washing rinse your dishes in a sink of water to which a tablespoon of vinegar is added let them air dry on a rack don t dry with a towel and don t put anything away wet make sure to clean all rivets rims and seams where bacteria could hide hard to clean dishes need a bit of a soak before they can be washed clean sometimes proteins like eggs get stuck to pans in this case soak them in cold water for a few minutes to loosen the opposite is true as a soak in hot water loosens grease sugars and carbohydrates like rice the most effective way to clean cast iron pans it to first soak a few minutes scrub with steel wool and rinse after all the dishes have been washed fill the sink once more with hot soapy water and one quarter cup of vinegar wash down the stove sinks table and counters with this vinegar solution wash anything you touched while handling raw food like the fridge door handle knobs on cupboards and drawers and the dishsoap bottle hang your dish cloth to dry to sanitize the dish cloths in the washing machine using hot water and add one quarter cup of vinegar to the load invisibly we are a cosmos of bacteria virus and parasite all competing for the resources in our bodies they can help heal or kill us some work as our allies and some not sickness is not so much precluded because by foreign invaders ones as it is the lack of effectiveness of native force it is in your favour to create the conditions to allow those who work for good benefit to prosper and overpower the others don t sit passively as invasive forces slowly break you down posted by ruth

pinterest homestead life from city life the chaotic emptiness of lives crammed alone into cities is unnatural to the creatures we are born to be as human beings we are all descendant of peoples who automatically lived in tune with nature and the land it is natural to long for a more meaningful way of life because our humanity is physically linked to taking care of the land our true nature our righteous place is to live honouring her majesty and reaping her harvest today people live like tourists in this world instead of like the heirs to the kingdom that they are no longer living in the security of familiar clumps but scattered by the winds of fortune has left us vulnerable and without allies we are not to live like the showy short lived annuals interested only in looks and spreading our seed it could be said we live like the invasive weeds as we monopolize resources overtake others to get ahead and don t want to share not even with our own it should be said we are the hardy perennials who happily develop mature and survive for generations as intrinsic members of our communities traditionally to survive and thrive the extended family lived and worked together easily sustaining the group without pretence a mosaic of personal attributes and limitations whole heartedly pulled the same cart up the same hill this sustainability trait is mimicked in the natural world whether a pride colony hill or clump all work for the greater good it is in your interest to gather and support the natural allies of your life essentially people are all doing the same things at the same time we all sleep then rise work eat clean and socialize our needs are all similar our skills and resources are different however as our weaknesses are others strengths if we truly lived as the family of man we would talk to our neighbors and find efficient ways to save time and resources in maintaining our lives this is a simplistic example but you see the solution is obvious it has evaded us partly because we have refused to expose our needs and share with others one homestead can comfortably produce for the needs of three families homesteading can be implemented with one person or many people it is not possible for a couple to manage a completely self sustaining homestead the work and pressure would be too much work to bear it can work well with two households each member contributing part time labour with less people the need for production is reduced but not the labour needed it is just as much effort to produce food for one as it is for two or three more in every century people have left the status quo to pioneer on their own in search of a better life so it is true today we are not hacking through the wilderness to carve out a living and start all over in isolation hardship that would be irresponsible and counter productive at the very least it is not too late to find the land that will sustain your life there are miles of land in this country desperately in need of stewardship farms already built but for the most part underutilized we have to renovate and rejuvenate what has been created and build upon that as our foundation what we are about to embark on is a lifestyle of using resources already available to us to reshape our lifestyles to live more in tuned with nature we must take the wisdom of the old ways and combine it with the benefits of the twentieth century rural properties are different to assess than real estate in the city to be efficient and self sustaining a homestead in the country must have its own infrastructure there are five main factors to consider when purchasing land to homestead number one is it must have water easily accessible right on the property it may pumped from a well or run with gravity from a surface water source or even be facility to capture rainfall in all cases consider the maintenance and upkeep cost requirement of the equipment is there enough water pressure can you purchase water rights any property with a natural clean water source should be considered a small piece of property with clean water is more valuable than a multi million dollar estate where water has to be delivered by truck number two is proximity to modern amenities like power roads regulation septic tank and services perhaps like a post office convenience store or garbage pick up can you put the water where you want to garden or put animals how easily could you get to help in emergency situations will your road be cleaned in the winter it is a big sacrifice and leap of faith to relocate to the country to grow your own food and to live away from the modern excitement of the city you may have to deal with limited health care and schools few shopping conveniences and isolation in changing weather conditions a person must have enough amenities that they feel comfortable when they are resting in my opinion anything less than a toilet with sceptic tank fridge stove running water and a reliable heat source would make any woman not want to stay if you relax by watching television then bring a television or your nintendo computer or piano don t be ashamed have to what you need to relax and have fun alone and with others there is a limiting social factor to rural living overcome this by making the most of all your interactions with people exchanges with others are valuable and necessary for growth read the closest bulletin board regularly it not only shows who is selling what but local happenings you can participate in such as clubs fundraisers and events such as farmers markets and fairs number three is the natural qualities of the land walk the property explore the areas that aren t being utilized and find out why not you don t want a property that has so much water it is like a marsh it only creates a natural obstacle to raising food and the mould and bug problems may be insurmountable does the ecosystem sustain wild mushrooms or animals or berries can you have a garden or a fish pond do the attributes of the land match your needs and lifestyle we chose to live by a lake for fishing and swimming and a micro climate which allows us to grow plants and animals with greater diversity it is an asset to be able to create alternative power from your property hydro solar wind geothermal don t fail to see the value in a southern facing property the more sun you can utilize to grow food the more food you can grow the earlier the snow melts in the spring and the later the frost comes in the fall also extends the growing seasons these factors can not be modified and have more value than the appeal of any building fourthly assess the buildings on the property and their condition what are they insulated with and does is it energy efficient did you check the windows and doors for drafts are the windows double paned for energy efficiency do all the taps toilets and sinks work does anything leak do all the lights and electrical outlets work where does the sewage go from the house electrical and septic upgrading may be necessary for insurance reasons which can add greatly to the cost of the house before you buy a house look at the foundation holding the building up is it straight and firm or is it bowed and sinking is it dry and free from mould while you are in the basement look at the hot water heater and water pipes are they old and need to be replaced to be energy efficient degradation to the foundation including water seepage will continue unless intervened with costly repairs this would not be a preferred property besides being expensive sometimes the machines and people aren t available in the country to do work for you as immediately as you would expect in the city consider the additional costs to be incurred above the price of the property to bring it to a manageable standard pens fencing and shelters for animals on the property are certainly assets worth paying more for outbuildings can be used further revitalized for storage and accommodation it is better to use established buildings as long as they are sound to house animals rather than build new ones you might build a new pen that works terrific in the summer but sadly watch the roof fall in from the weight of the winter snow unless you are an experienced builder there are too many variables to success and you will be putting your animals at risk choose a place where buildings that have stood the test of time and will continue to functions through all the seasons your first year should be spent studying how the property works know how your water and septic systems operate don t assume understand what could go wrong and have a solution at the ready the problems with an old furnace a leaky pipe broken fencing or the need for insulation will always become obvious make note of potential problems as they present themselves to the thought of fixing them when the time and resources or urgency presents itself plan ahead your course of action for a fire severe weather water shortage and power outages it is much better to face problems and solve them as you can than be faced with the cost of unexpected hardship seek low cost low tech solutions for potential problems prepare for the worse knowing this security will cushion your success although nature appears gentle is not passive nature is the most powerful force it always shows what is inadequate about what you have done or not done and you deal with the consequences before you can do what is better next time until things mature and perpetually run in sync there will be glitches in the system be accepting of this is the process being diligent to make adjustments as necessary it is not a hardship but a loving sacrificial commitment you are making for the planet if we are going to protect the earth from the deluge of human destruction then it is going to take each of us protecting a piece at a time it must be our conviction please don t ignore this opportunity if you do not i assure you the corporations exhorting nature s vitality and profiting from the depletion of our country s natural resources will not do your part to nurture a patch let it feed you and the world eventually all pieces will join to create for the earth a protective quilt of stewardship and paradoxically set a framework for capital less existence with a light footprint for generations to come posted by ruth trowbridge at 12 39 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest critters critters dear diary yesterday there was a little gray mouse in the feed barrel i put my hand in as a half hearted effort to capture him he scurried right up to my hand rubbed his head under my finger then ran the length of this his body along the same finger to the tip of his tail i brought him out in my hand set him on the ground my fingers lingering as he rubbed against them it felt like a disney movie moment until a chicken saw the show and
