Don't fight for something that just can’t be right now. It doesn’t mean it won't happen later or in a few years. Instead of spending time looking at what you wish you had on your backyard farm or not starting anything because you can’t have the size garden you want right now. Try to ask yourself “What could I do with what I have that gives me a taste of the thing I want?” I see so many people miss out on the joy that a simple herb garden or a planter on their deck could bring them because it's not a “real garden”. It all boils down to comparison. You don’t need to be perfect at everything. You don’t need to stress yourself out with 45 chickens, a half-acre garden, a dairy animal, and DIYing everything in sight unless THATS what brings you joy and you’re not missing out on the important things because of it. Remember, less hustle and more joy. Talk soon, Leah P.S. I've updated or created all three of my free guides on my site. So I wanted to send them all to you in case you missed them.

For those new or thinking about starting a backyard farm or homestead the key to success lies in starting small and building out SLOWLY. I know, I know easier said than done... Choose a few projects that require minimal investment in both time and money and are easy...
I’ve worked with hundreds of students now and talked to literal thousands about starting their backyard farms or homesteads. And you know what their number one issue is when it comes to making progress on their goals? They are working from this vision they have in their mind instead of having a detailed step-by-step plan that they can take action on. Here’s the real talk: Not taking the time to plan it out is half donkey-butting your work. It seems like a good idea to just get to work and not...
I’m having a pretty good but very full week of changes and doing some big, scary, heavy work that I know God wants me to do. How’s your week going? I hope great, but if not…I’ve got a story for you. About 5-ish years ago I was trying to do too much all at once. You know the drill. I had about 5 different spaces to take care of, a garden to manage, and a house that we were still trying to make consistent improvements on. I was overworked, rushing to get every single chore done and not enjoying...
