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).

How fast do baby chicks grow? So fast! While they are in their brooder and under the lamp most of the day, I like to take them outside to scratch when the sun is shining. Along with @tractorsupply, I recommend keeping your new chicks in the brooder and separate from your older hens for at least 6 weeks old or have their feathers in. ⠀#hawriverhomestead #tscchickdays⠀ #chickdays⠀ #chickens⠀ #backyardchickens⠀ #chickensofinstagram⠀ #sponsored
First chives of the season!! I'm a little giddy about it. The shadows are dancing between the leaves on the trees and our grass has gone to weed which basically means spring is here 🌱I want to plant in the garden today, but need to wait until the sun goes down a bit. Your new seedlings will be less likely to go in to shock if you plant around dusk. 💚 #hawriverhomestead
Playing outside or going for a hike with my family usually means two or three snack breaks! I love that @annieshomegrown understands that how ingredients are grown is just as important as how our food tastes! ⠀ ⠀ Want to know something even better? The organic wheat and oats used in these Limited Edition Organic Honey Bunny Grahams are grown on a 4th generation family farm in Montana advancing regenerative practices. This means that the farmer – Casey, pictured on the box! - prioritizes variety in crops, covered soil, and rotational grazing - all of which impact our soil health. 99% of our food is grown in soil! That’s reason enough to believe that #soilmatters! #ad
Earth Day is Sunday of this week, and it got me thinking. Why isn’t every day Earth Day? Here in our home we celebrate it like it is. We believe what we do to our earth today has consequences for tomorrow. That is why we garden without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, compost daily, and raise backyard chickens. Because it all matters, and it’s all connected to a beautiful ecosystem – one I take pride in helping to create.⠀ ⠀ This month I’ve teamed up with @annieshomegrown to share more about regenerative farming and why #soilmatters. This passion project of theirs is so impressive! Stay tuned this week as we learn how regenerative farming practices can build healthy soil. ⠀ #earthday⠀ #ad
