Farmcrafts are skills and items that made people self-reliant, especially during tough economic times.  These vital skills are becoming extinct.  It is well past time to bring them back; more and more people are searching for ways to become more independent.  We hope to help with that here!

On this site, you will find information and instructions on how to do more for yourself.  I hope you find something useful!

As we grow our homestead in Western Washington, and I got ready for retirement in these crazy, turbulent economic times, it is clear that what money isn't earned has to be saved.  This definitely brings to life the saying: "a penny saved is a penny earned"... how true, especially now!

 So, how does one save (earn) money?

• Grow your own food
• Make your own breads, butter
• Learn to preserve (can) what you grow
• Don't buy from a store what you can make with a little effort
• Think of how something can be repurposed before discarding it
• Have a passion for what you are doing, & HAVE FUN DOING IT!

We bought our farm(ette) about 4 years ago.  We have grown quickly, and so has our learning curve. 

We are hoping to pass along tips and cetain things you may not be able to learn or get anywhere else.
