A lot of canners leave the rings on after processing, but hereā€™s why I donā€™tā€¦

Once your jars have cooled and youā€™ve confirmed a proper seal, remove the rings. A loose seal can sometimes be hidden by a ring holding the lid in place. Storing jars without rings lets you know your seal is still strong and helps prevent rust and trapped moisture.

And when it comes to seals, I trust

Iā€™ve used them for everything from broth to jams and dry pantry staples, and they give me confidence with every batch. A perfect seal every time means peace of mind when youā€™re feeding your family from your pantry.

Do you store your jars with rings on or off?!

One of my favorite ways to give treats is by scattering them throughout the grass & rocks instead of dumping them in a pile.

Chickens are natural foragers. They were designed to spend their day scratching, pecking, and searching for food. When I toss out it encourages those natural instincts while keeping my flock active, engaged, and entertained.

Itā€™s more than just a treat, itā€™s enrichment.

The girls get exercise, stay busy, and have a blast hunting down every last bite. Watching them forage is one of my favorite parts of chicken keeping, I could literally watch them all dayšŸ˜†

Do your chickens prefer their treats in a bowl or scattered around?

Coop cleaning day featuring one extremely loud henšŸ˜†

As our flock has grown, Iā€™ve become more intentional about the products I use in our coop. I love supporting family owned businesses, especially when their products are sourced right here in the USA.

For this coop refresh, I used the Aspen Nesting Pads and Coop Fresh from . The nesting pads provide a clean, comfortable place for my hens to lay while helping keep eggs cleaner and reducing breakage. Coop Fresh helps keep the coop smelling fresher and cleaner between deep cleans.

One thing I really appreciate is that Poultry Supply offers bulk options and free shipping, making it easy to stock up for larger flocks without constantly reordering.

Freeze drying blueberries might be one of my favorite ways to preserve fruit. They come out so crisp, crunchy, and full of flavor after about a full day in my

I love storing them in glass jars so I can easily see what I have, and I always seal them using my vacuum sealer kit with an oxygen absorber to help extend freshness and shelf life.

Trying to live a lower tox lifestyle doesnā€™t mean being perfect.
For me, itā€™s just about making small swaps where I can little by little over time. From wool dryer balls and stainless steel water bottles to cleaner home products, every small change adds up for our family.

I truly believe you donā€™t have to overhaul your entire life overnight to make a difference. Start with one swap at a time and build from there.

It has been confirmed that Americaā€™s number one strawberry brand is directly tied to cancer. Driscollā€™s, which controls 1/3 of all U.S. strawberries, gets sprayed with up to 371 chemical pesticides before it ever reaches your familyā€™s table.
They are coating strawberries in mosquito spray and marketing them as organic. Nearly every US strawberry begins as a lab engineered clone blanketed in captan, the exact same chemical found in paint preservatives submerged directly into fungicide baths, allowing three separate carcinogens to seep deep into the flesh. And that is only the beginning. Those berries then get bleached in chlorine and sealed inside plastic so thoroughly that no amount of rinsing can remove the residue.
THIS is why I grow so much of my own food. Nothing can be trusted in the stores, not even ā€œorganicā€
