As homesteaders, there are just so many resources that we use throughout the year. Some are used daily, others monthly, some only once or twice a year. I’ve written about books we’ve read (or are reading) and tools we use, so I’m going to share a list of it all with you to make it more accessible to you, instead of having to go back through old posts to find the link to that item we mentioned and now you can’t remember what it was or where it was… I’ll try to break it down by category to make it even easier on you 🙂
I may add or subtract from this list, and if you ever find that a link does not work, let us know. If you are looking for an item/tool and can’t find it on this list, leave a comment and let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll try to get you a link! I am probably going to have listed off a few items that maybe I haven’t talked about in particular, but that we keep around the homestead and use on a fairly regular basis. Chances are that I’ll write about it eventually!
Also, please note that MOST of these links are affiliate links. If it takes you to Amazon, that’s a guarantee. You can read my affiliate disclosure statement in the sidebar or at the bottom of the page on mobile devices.
