Raising Roots Farm: Woods to Table

One of my homesteading goals of 2025 is to can 1,000 jars!

I'm getting a late start, but really, what fresh produce is there this time of year in MD?

Starting my goal with some venison!

Interested in the down low on how to can venison- shoot me a message and I'd be happy to share!

What are some of your homestead goals for this year?

We will also use the puree to make pudding icecream pops, pumpkin spice simple syrup, and pumpkin butter. The possibilities are endless!

💚 Cotyledon heart shaped love 💚

These are their first "seed leaves"- not true leaves.

These Cotyledon leaves are similar to us. We all start so young and pure and with any luck- full of love.

With each ounce of love, patience, and dedication we put towards our children or our seedlings, generates the future they will hold.

How strong they will become.

How fruitful they will be.

We have over 80% germination so far for our early Spring lettuce and I just know the rest of them are not far behind!

Beautiful homemade chocolate truffles for my loves tomorrow.
I hope that when my children are old and starting their own families that they will cherish all of the homemade holiday treats that I've made them over the years and continue it within their homes.
They may not know it now but these homemade treats mean so much and can not be replaced.

Vowing to you all to spend your day tomorrow showering your loved ones with just that- love... time.... your presence.
