Haw River Homestead is a place where our passion for the slow life and a drive to become more self-reliant meet. Over the past 3 years we have planted, explored, and slowly built our dream home (ok, we are still working on it).

The winter with no garden has me wondering what to share on here. Just moments. Little moments. Slow moments. It’s not this slow normally but when it is I savor it. And count my blessings. ❤️ #hawriverhomestead
Can you believe all the snow has melted?! Put some hay down in the girls coop today and we also made them a new toy! A cabbage head on a rope for them to peck at 👏 It’s the little things, guys.
What are your go-to winter recipes? I always make this soup at least once - 15 bean soup! It’s so easy and delicious. Beans, water, onion, diced tomatoes and a little fat to season 👏#hawriverhomestead
Winter isn’t always my friend. The days are short, my energy is lower. Work is busy. Kids are sick. It’s hard to admit sometimes that we don’t have it all together. But none of us really do. That’s okay. Tomorrow will come. There will be light. We will find the door. There is a shoulder to lean on. Sleep is good. Friends will make you laugh. Maybe you forgot who you were or why you’re here or what’s the bigger purpose. And then, you breathe deeply and let it all wash away. Because you are here. And, that’s enough.
