My husband and I live on our 40 acre off-grid homestead in Northeastern Arizona, we're frugally building it up from raw land to our dream homestead. We sell small batch herbal tea blends. My husband is a Journeyman Inside Wireman and former law enforcement. I'm a recovering corporate drone (HR). Follow along to see us build out our homestead and businesses.

Well, it's a good thing I'm going to be putting up a fence around the garden today. These pretty Doper Hair Sheep decided that our shrubs and grass were better then the stuff they have at home. One was pretty new mom with a little itty-bitty lamb following her. We're unfortunately new to the area and don't have any of our neighbors phone numbers yet, we go to church with the guy who has the open range lease on our land but he only has cattle so I'm thinking these babies got out of their pasture. They also wouldn't let me close enough to see their tags. #grownostr #homesteading #livestock
Today while driving back from dropping off some tea orders to be shipped out tomorrow morning, I saw what I thought was Yarrow and it was! I was able to find one away from the roadside and am remembering where so I can come back and harvest some seeds to grow on our property since this is already naturalized to our area. #grownostr #plantstr #forage #yarrow #medicinalherbs #herbs
Testing some new sun tea flavors! Most of these have Hibiscus as the base because it Hibiscus is helpful for staying hydrated during the summer months and it typically tastes amazing with citrus. I gave my husband the Hibiscus and Yerba Mate sun tea last year while he was working in some solar fields in Blythe, CA where it commonly hit 130+f (54.4c) in the solar field. He had several coworkers who ended up with heat exhaustion. #grownostr #herbaltea #tea
We're looking at adding a few more herbal teas to our lineup. So I'm asking all of you out in Nostr, what do you like in an medicinal herbal tea? #grownostr #herbaltea #tea #smallbusiness

Trying an experiment. These tomatoes are 60-70 days till maturity and I have about 150 frost free days that started about week ago. I want to see if I can start these tomatoes now and still get a harvest, the math adds up that I should at least get some. They're a indeterminate, so I may need to look at topping it about 30 day before my estimated first frost to ensure what's set will have enough time to ripen but I think it's worth the garden experiment to see if it works. #grownostr #gardening #permies #permaculture #homesteading image

Pray for me I put off going into walmart and I need little baggies for my tea samples for the local shop to drop off tonight for this weekend... How did I forget it was Memorial Day Weekend in a tourist town!!!! It's packed and in my head I'm still used to winter busy levels not holiday weekend busy levels...
