The Backyard Farming Connection #59

We're still in recovery mode from a wonderful Thanksgiving gathering, and already the holiday season is before us.  I'm trying to rein in my new addiction to woodworking and focus on some holiday decorating and baking around the homestead.  Already I am planning and thinking ahead to next year and the next skills to learn.

From Homestead Mania: How to Start a Vegetable Garden

From The Homesteader School: How to Render Animal Fats

I want to know what's happening, in your garden, on your homestead, in the barnyard, and in the kitchen.  Whatever is in your backyard farm and home, I would love to hear about it.

Each week I will share some of my favorite posts on the Backyard Farming Connection Facebook page.  And in case you haven't seen, I have a 'featured button' so if you've been featured in the past, grab a button.
