Hey ya'll. It's Jen, the face behind The Easy Homestead. Together with my husband, we dive headfirst into the world of homesteading on a budget. Join us as we swap tips, whip up delicious meals from our own backyard and share the joys (and tears). Welcome to our corner of the internet.
A rustic setting with fresh vegetables. On the left, there's a bowl filled with vibrant green arugula leaves. In the center, a wooden stump serves as a makeshift table, holding a bunch of fresh green herbs, possibly rosemary or thyme. Adjacent to the stump, there's a bowl filled with bright red cherry tomatoes on their vine. To the right, a bunch of orange carrots with their green tops is placed next to a long, green zucchini. The backdrop consists of a burlap sack and a rustic metal plate. The entire scene exudes a farmhouse or countryside vibe, emphasizing fresh produce.
