Hi, I'm Kate.
And I'm you're homesteading best friend.Â
What even is that? Oh I'm so glad you asked, buckle up let's chat about it.Â
See, you have all these things you want to do, but you get decision fatigue on WHICH is the right way.Â
So what do you do? You ask your homesteading best friend of course.Â
-You’ve got the garden but fermenting and pressure canning makes you nervous.
-You want to sew, but patterns make you overwhelmed.
– You’ve had a milk cow for years, but venturing beyond yogurt and butter just hasn’t happened.
–You want to bake your own bread, but understanding the process is hard.
–You’ve raised chickens for years but butchering them or cutting them up is over your head.
-You think making your own soap sounds amazing but surely lye is so dangerous you just can’t.
You were so excited to get started, bought the supplies, found the perfect cow, planted the seeds…but the next steps have you frozen with indecision.
The thing is, everyone has a different method, a different technique, and you don’t know who to trust. I thought I could google my way through figuring out all of the above but when I came across conflicting advice, I felt stuck.Â
Where do I go? My homesteading best friend of course!
"Kate's membership is sooo much more than just for homesteading moms. I am almost 70, a wife, mom of two, and grandma to 3 mostly grown kiddos. What I truly love about the membership is the grace with which Kate pulls me in with family and homestead life, recipes, remedies, and just pure living her life. It's the mix of all of it that I treasure. Some I literally relate to, some is familiar for lots of different reasons, and some is new to me. I garden, make do with what we have at times, sew, cook, preserve food we've both grown and purchased, and love to eat. I also work part time for my husband's small business. We have a total of 1/2 acre between 2 city lots. I've used tons of Kate's recipes, and plan to make soap via the video with her mom. Seriously I could go on...but you get the picture."

Maybe your first batch of kombucha went moldy.
Maybe you are tired of trying to find the perfect way, and just want to figure out what way will get the job done.
Maybe you’ve had pork fat sitting in your freezer waiting to be rendered because you’ve heard it’s hard.
(Maybe you get excited when you find a cool jar at a thrift store, but those around you could care less.)
Imagine if you could stop scouring the internet and go to one trusted resource. How much time and energy would that save you?
I used to feel so alone in my homesteading endeavours. No one in my life understood why I’d bother to make butter and can broth.Â
You know what we all need? A homesteading best friend to cheer us on!
The way my brain works, I am always questioning if the ingredients in a recipe, the steps in a DIY, if, really, ANYTHING, someone says you must do…do I really HAVE to do this, to get my desired end result?
I’m not afraid to feed a loaf of bread to the chickens or have a round of cheese that the pigs enjoy. Failing is part of the process of me streamlining and nailing down what DOES and DOESN’T matter.
I discovered there is a lot of fluff that can be cut out of pretty much any process, and this gave me the confidence to take this approach in basically every area of my life.Â
And I love nothing more than sharing that with my friends
Â
My goal as your Homesteading Best Friend...
Is that I have condensed all these things I learnt over many years, many books read, many calls and texts with experts I knew, I could condense into consumable information to get YOU off the sidelines, and DOING.
No unnecessary steps. No fluff. No nonsense. No BS.
"I have learned, and am still learning, so much from Venison for Dinner! Kate and her family are truly inspiring! I live in a trailer park in town and have a very small yard. In the past I have just grown herbs and flowers but Kate has not only inspired me to start gardens and a berry patch, but we also just got 6 chickens! Kate's upbeatness and 'get this shit done' attitude is truly inspiring and enjoyable."

"The Insiders Club is about helping you live a life that’s more from scratch. My family of 6 lives in a suburban neighborhood with a tiny garden and no animals, yet I still find the membership helpful in so many ways. On top of that, the [Facebook] community truly is amazing and the extra Instagram content is so much fun!"
"We recently bought 3.5 wooded acres and the Insiders Club membership has been so helpful! I’ve gone from trying things on my own to being a part of a community of amazing people trying to live in a “homemade” way and grow what they can. The insider's Instagram stories are what I watch instead of Netflix, and the bonus recipes and blog content never disappoint! The amount of content and community goes way beyond my small monthly investment, and I’m so thankful that the cost goes to support a family with values I share."
It's my goal to inspire you to do the best you can, with what you have, where you're at. I'm your Homesteading Best Friend
