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).

I wouldn’t normally post this photo. Everything is brown and soaked from the rain, and the coop is covered with a tarp because well it has leaky spots during heavy down pours. But this is what we’re working with on this fine Saturday. And, I’m grateful. Cheers friends ☕️
A week ago before the floods came. I’m being dramatic but the rain just doesn’t seem to want to stop. Poor chickens are wet and muddy and we’ve since tarped the coop! Hot oatmeal coming up because I like to spoil them 🐓🐓
Do you want an essential oil that is 5% pure plant material or a 100% pure plant material? One of my favorite things about doterra is their transparency! ✨why is it important to know whit’s in your bottle of essential oil?✨ Because legally companies are allowed to say their oils are pure if they only contain 5% plant matter! Yes that’s right - 5 %! Lots of essential oil companies cut corners to make a profit which in the end hurts growers, distillers and you. Doterra is committed to sharing essential oils that are: 100% plant material 100% pure 100% therapeutic grade They’re so committed, they test their oils with an independent third party lab, and then share the results with us! Curious what’s in your bottle of essential oil? Flip it over to find the Quality ID. Then head over to sourcetoyou.com for the report! Quality matters, you guys ❤️
I picked all the hydrangeas Saturday when I heard the frost was coming. It might be cold outside but it looks like spring in my living room. I also pressed a bunch of zinnias, coneflowers, and cosmos thanks to the tip from @caouettee3! Homegrown flowers just make me happy. It’s been a challenging few weeks in our neck of the woods, but nothing a little gratitude and love can’t help. It’s so easy to forget to pause and focus on the GOOD things in our life. Those few minutes can help clarify the air, and make more room for good. 💙 #lovewildnovember
