*UPDATE* Corey is home, in good spirits and we are in recovery mode. Everything went well though ankle fusion is a long recovery time which means he won’t be up and about doing Rockpile projects for a few months. I’ve been filming what I’m meal prepping and making in the kitchen to help him heal and we’ve got our 2024 garlic crop to prepare for so I’ll do my best to get those videos out further you guys soon. Thankyou for your support, 🙏 you guys ❤️

I know I know!!! We’ve had a bit going on behind the scenes with Mr RP going in for his foot surgery today (finally!) and prepping the homestead for the next few months of recovery. There’s a few updates on the way but please send Corey healing vibes… thankyou!

Watching Deb and Dan open their giveaway prize gave us All The Feels and made us a little teary tbh 😭 This is your reminder to FIND YOUR COMMUNITY on YouTube. Connect with each other in genuine heartfelt ways. It 100% makes this YouTubing experience something so much more fulfilling than going it alone and feeling like no one is watching. Thankyou ALL for being part of our community, and we are very grateful to be a part of yours ❤️

What homesteader stage are you at?

Discoverer, Dreamer, Dedicated, or Die-hard?

You are a DISCOVERER and just starting to get interested in self-sufficiency, growing your own food, and making your own home products. You are interested in organic food, natural solutions, permaculture, and helping the environment. You may have concerns about food security and don’t like how over-regulated some aspects of our current society are. You are looking for: INSPIRATION. You mostly consume content from the bigger name creators (on social or mainstream media) but are not yet a dedicated follower of many smaller, more niche topic creators.

You are a DREAMER and are well on your way down the homesteading or self-sufficiency rabbit hole. At this stage, you have more ideas and knowledge than practical experience, but you may have one or two topics you are actively gaining experience in, like gardening, preserving, DIY projects, keeping chickens or urban permaculture. You might be a regular visitor to farmer’s markets, you like supporting homemade small businesses, or you would like to get involved with a community garden. You are looking for: INFORMATION. You enjoy learning and may well stay in this stage long term simply for the joy of knowledge and doing good in the world. You have started to find your favourite niche areas of interest and consume that content.

You are DEDICATED and are in the serious planning stage or might have already taken intentional steps towards starting your homestead on 1+ acres of land. You want to know the real-life practical aspects of homesteading. You might be building or needing to build extra infrastructure to support the different aspects of homesteading you want to explore. You feel like you are at the “beginning” of your homesteading journey and are enjoying experimenting with new things. You have a clear vision of what you want in the future but may not know the exact steps you need to take to get there. You are looking for: INSPIRATION & EDUCATION. You want to see both a broad view of all that is possible as well as specialised education on particular topics of interest. You are starting to discover and connect with other homesteaders.

You are a DIE-HARD. You have made the leap and gone all in on homesteading and are 1-5 years into your homesteading journey (even though it might have been something of interest for years). You have land and are actively engaged in creating your homestead. You are starting to see what of your existing experience, skills and knowledge are transferable to the homestead and also noticing opportunities for further growth. You might be involved with projects such as building large structures like houses, and infrastructure for specific projects, starting or growing gardens and orchards, cooking or learning to cook from scratch with seasonal produce, also preserving and raising animals for different uses in the homestead, including food. You are looking for: COMMUNITY. Because you get inspiration from other active homesteaders with whom you can connect and from whom you can get specialised education around your knowledge gaps or ideas to improve what you are already doing.
