Farmers Wife Homestead
Welcome to Farmers Wife Homestead. I’m Stacey, and I share practical ways to cook from scratch, make everyday food go further and save money in the kitchen.
From budget-friendly family meals and homemade pantry staples to freezer cooking, preserving, baking and old-fashioned recipes, my aim is to help you create a well-stocked home and put delicious food on the table without overspending.
You’ll also find seasonal gardening, farm life and a glimpse of everyday living on our New Zealand farm.
New videos every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Subscribe and join our lovely community as we cook, save, grow and make the most of what we have.

Shop Less, Use More begins on Monday, so it’s time to take an honest look at what we already have.
Which area of your kitchen needs the most attention?
Mine is definitely the freezer. It is full of useful food, but now I need to turn it into meals and make room before the next preserving season begins.
Vote below, then tell me in the comments what you most need to use.
If you haven’t seen the announcement video yet, I’ll leave the link below in the comments.

Surprise extra video this week.
My new Shop Less, Use More video is now live!
From Monday 14 September until the end of November, I’m giving myself just $500 NZD for groceries. My pantry, freezers and preserving cupboard are well stocked, so it’s time to shop less, use more of what we already have and hopefully save a substantial amount before Christmas.
I would love you to join me by choosing a budget, timeframe and set of rules that suit your own household. We’ll share our progress, meals, grocery spending and savings along the way.
Watch the video to hear how it will all work, then leave a comment telling me whether you’re joining us and what your personal goal will be.

My latest video is now live :-)
I’m sharing how I freeze potatoes so they’re ready to turn into delicious, crispy roast potatoes in just 25 minutes. It’s a brilliant way to save time, make the most of potatoes while they’re affordable, and have an easy side dish waiting in the freezer.

Hello, I am finally back home and getting into the swing of things again. I will be back posting on my normal days Wednesday's and Sundays. I do have a couple of questions though for you.
Wednesday will be a anything type video, Sunday will continue to be a theme 10 part series.
1. Would you like me to continue with the Friday pantry type video to help save on the basics? They would be shorter style videos. Please comment yes or no and let me know your thoughts.
2. Would 3 videos from me be too much in a week?
I really want to make sure you are still enjoying the videos I film for you.
3. What are your favorite types of videos from me? Please also let me know.
Lastly thank you so much for your patience while it seems like a long period away from home.
See you again soon
