The Kneady Homesteader

Welcome to The Kneady Homesteader!
I'm Heather ~ A Mom of 6, a widow who has joyfully remarried, a homesteader, bread baker, canner, gardener, chicken mom and a follower of Jesus. Here you will find laid back tutorials on how to make homemade bread, preserve food through canning and dehydrating, prep your pantry for life's emergencies, and live a faith-filled resilient life with joy and glory of the Lord as the center.

I also share heartfelt reflections on grief and healing after loss, and invite you to walk with me in both the joyful and the hard seasons of life.
Let's bake, can, grow, and walk in grace....together.

Topics I Cover:
Homemade Bread | Small batch canning | Pantry Prep | Homesteading | Food Preservation | Faith and Grief

Fot anyone intereste in my PINK 5-gallon buckets with gamma lids. 😆👍🏼 I had these on my wish list and thankfully and excitedly was gifted them by my aunt and my sister-friend Renita for my birthday last year, if my brain serves me correctly. 😆 I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! These now store my wheat berries, as I work through my stored store bought flour and am preparing to start milling my own. Which I am super excited about!!!! My white buckets I pirchased at Home Depot and they do not have gamma lids. I use the bucket wrench for those.

It’s that time of year again…..before fall starts to blow through, we go through the pantry and prep it for winter. This includes touching EVERY SINGLE ITEM in it, deep cleaning every shelf, every jar, rearranging my shelving units, getting rid of items I don’t need or use, and taking inventory of what’s needed before winter. Where we live, our winters are very harsh. Sometimes we get snowed in for a week and with my high risk of falling with my leg, once snow and ice season comes, I am home bound a lot. So, it’s important to have as many supplies on hand as possible. I know I am not alone in this. Remember, set your pantry up for success not only for you but for your family in your absence, if God forbid something were to happen to you. ❤️

If you have any questions for me, drop them down below and if I get enough, I will do a pantry Q&A video. 👍🏼
