A Course Collection by Farmhouse on Boone
When I started my blog back in 2016, I wanted to share my own experiments and experience with homesteading skills as I learned how to make food from scratch, practice simple living, and curate a handmade home.
Hey there, I’m Lisa, from the blog Farmhouse on Boone. And I am proud to say that since then, a movement seems to be growing!
If you didn’t grow up with homestead skills, starting can be intimidating. Where do you start? Who do you trust? How do you actually produce delicious, from-scratch food, handmade homegoods, and fresh baked bread if you’ve never done it before?
That’s where Simple Homestead can help!
This collection of courses brings together many of the skills that serve my family day in and day out. These are the skills, recipes, and projects that I have tried and tested hundreds of times, laid out in easy to follow video tutorials so you can find success right from the start!
In this course collection, you’ll find:
Simple Sourdough
my signature course to help new and experienced bakers start your first sourdough starter, bake beautiful loaves, and incorporate sourdough into every meal of the day.
Freshly Milled Grains
a course to help you find your first mill, buy grains, and incorporate fresh milled flour into your baking, which can be combined with sourdough to increase the health benefits of both!
Simple Sewing Series
a course for new sewists to get started with your first machine to produce clothing and housewares to bring your fabric dreams to life.
Fresh Ferments
a course to teach you how to safely ferment fruits, vegetables, drinks, and dairy products to create probiotic-rich foods that are good for your gut and full of flavor.
Plus, you’ll get access to:
