Welcome to Homestead Acres!

Our store is  currently undergoing renovations.  We hope to have it back online soon.

Many families are feeling the squeeze at the gas pumps and the grocery store.  While politicians continue to talk about inflation getting lower, the real goods that make up most families spending are rising.

When trying to cut expenses one of the easiest areas to change is our grocery budget.  Your best choice is to buy only whole unprocessed foods.  When ever you buy food that has been precut or shredded you are paying a higher price for someone else to do that work for you.  Like wise if you are buying canned or frozen convince food you are paying for all the handling along the way, and the many unhealthy preservatives added to your food.

This is were we would like to help.  Teaching you how to cook healthy, inexpensive food for your family.  How to save by making your own cleaners and using cloth diapers.

  • How To Plant Strawberries

     Strawberries are the jewel of the early garden.  In our area they are the first fruits ready to harvest in the garden season.  I prefer to buy bear root stock from a local nursery.  This minimizes shock to the plants and is often the cheapest way to purchase strawberry plants.
