Homesteading In Kansas
A glimpse into the life of an urban homesteading family of 7. We raise chickens, vegetables, fruits and bees while learning to lessen our impact on the earth.

The concept of living Mind to Mouth, is about an effort to use limited resources to eat and live well. Currently in a blog format mindtomouth.org will be expanding into an online collaborative toolset to renew the potential of domestic skills as a way to practically address global food insecurity and health.

We build and repurpose useless and useful objects of beauty. We eat homegrown eggs. We're teacommunity up our lawn bit by bit and replacing it with garden. We're making use of a tiny house on a tiny piece of land in a smallish city in our corer of the Pacific Northwest.
