Hello and welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop 333!

What's New at An Off Grid Life
We are just soaking up the sun around here, let me tell you! Living at about 62 degrees north means that our winter days are short and dark, with just about 4 ½ hours of daylight in December. But now, three months later, our days are much longer and we're enjoying the sun until just before 8pm at night. By mid-June we'll have over 20 hours of sunlight, with a few hours of twilight around midnight.
So all of this sun means we're kicking our seed-starting and gardening into high gear, and busy organizing and planning how much to plant per person to secure our food supply again this year.
In the meantime, we've had some record-setting site traffic. These are currently our most popular posts:
- Homemade Plant Food and Natural Fertilizers
- Off Grid Living Mistakes
- Off Grid Toilets
- Internet Off The Grid
- How to Build a Cinder Block Garden
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!
Now on to the Hop
Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to's, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
