Winter Homestead ‘To Do’ ideas

Winter can seem like ‘down time’ on the homestead, but it certainly is not true in all homesteads.
If you have livestock of any form, you know they need just as much care, if not more, in the winter. If you have wood heat, well then you are hauling and chopping and cleaning ashes.
But the days are shorter and the weather harsher so many on the homestead keep busy inside with more projects that require staying by the fire. Here are some ideas:
- Plan and draw out the spring garden and planting schedule.
- De-seed any wildflowers from last year’s bed to re-use.
- Knit, crochet or sew.
- Cabinet, closet and drawer cleaning for that spring garage sale
- Inventory the canning supplies.
- Order your spring seeds on line.
- Keep composting and turning it into the ‘dead’ garden.
There are many more ideas of winter homestead projects that can be done indoors or out. Please feel free to leave a comment and we can expand this list for more people to see! Thank you!
Best Blessings.
