Howdy fellow homesteaders!  I'm Amanda, and I'm the matriarch of The Happy Homestead.  We are a suburban homestead, on 1/3 of an acre, and maximizing it the best we can.  We raise bees, grow shiitake mushrooms, garden, canning/preserving and a whole lotta cooking and baking! My husband and I have 2 young children and our goal is to move to a large parcel of land in 2-3 years to build our dream homestead.  In the meantime, we both work full time jobs, and enjoy doing all that we can to live more sustainably.

I look forward to connecting with you.
