Hippie Chick Homestead
Welcome to Hippie Chick Homestead! I'm glad you've stopped by to see what's growing in the garden and happening in the kitchen. You'll find everything from seed selection and seed starting to planting, maintaining, and harvesting your garden crops, to canning and preserving your harvests and using what you've harvested in the kitchen.
Follow along as I share what I'm growing in my PNW garden, and how I can, preserve, dehydrate, and freeze what I've harvested so I can use it to save money at the grocery store and feed my family. I'm glad you're here and ready to grow!
