Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop Y’all…
This week was an exciting week around the homestead. We made our first batch of kombucha a couple weeks back and put it into our awesome 750mL flip-top bottles for its second ferment. We ordered our yogurt and Alaskan sourdough starters too. Looks like there’s going to be a lot of fermenting goin’ on ’round here! I don’t know about y’all, but I could eat everything fermented- it’s just that good!
Now on to the hop…
Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
Meet the Hosts!
Jen- The Easy Homestead (Me!)
Jenna- The Flip Flop Barnyard
Bonnie- The Not So Modern Housewife
Amanda- Idlewild Alaska
Lindsey- Chickadee Homestead
Nicole- Little Blog on the Homestead

Hey Jen, I was just wondering if there was a specific way you wanted us to link back to the blog hop, or if you just want there to be a link on our blog post somewhere?
Hi Tiff!
All you need to do is link at the bottom of your post. If I share a post I usually just put this at the bottom of my post:
Shared On: Homestead Blog Hop (then you would link Homestead Blog Hop with the url of that week’s hop). HTH and thanks for sharing!

Ok perfect! I will be sure to do that. 🙂
Thanks so much for hosting the hop, Jen! I really appreciate it.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
