Happy New Year! If you are seeing this message, it's because you are either a first-time visitor, you are not a member or you are not logged in. In any case, take a moment, register (it's FREE) and login. You won't be sad you did. I hope to create a community of free flow information for all homesteader's or homesteader want-to-be's. I haven't met anyone who has it all figured out yet and knows it all, but together we can share knowledge, success and failures... and maybe, just maybe make a few friends in the process. Check out the forums and keep your eye out on the download section for free software! It started as a dream for MOST of us, so don't feel bad if that's the stage you are in, just come aboard and learn and share what you can! New Year Blessings to you and your family from all the friends at TMH! Did You Know? That you can add events (if your a member, which is free) to the calendar on the right hand side? We will even post reminders about your event for everyone to read!
Seasonal Reminder: Maple Sugaring.
Now is the time of year to begin preparing your maple sugaring equipment. It's a time to review the previous years production, make purchases, and dream a little bit as you stare out the window into the snow, cold and general dreariness that January brings with it.  Here is a list of items you may need to produce Maple Syrup:
 For you're reading pleasure: Hobby Maple Syrup production, a bulletin from Ohio State. Make Your Own! A Mass Maple website. 2006 Maple Production Report. Maple Syrup Supplies. * Please note, although we try to check out the websites we do not necessarily endorse them.You can see a video of tapping a maple tree here: http://www.themodernhomestead.com/comment.php?comment.news.55

Cooking with a Wood Cookstove.
 Katlupe added this fine piece on cooking with woodstoves, make sure to check it out!One of things I love about country living is the smell of wood smoke! I had never been around woodstoves very much until I got my own. So I had to learn alot! How to start a fire, how to clean my stoves, how to keep my fires going, how to open and close the dampers and when to open and close them. I can go on and on with all the things you have to learn. As living with a fire inside your house, safety must be your first concern. So take the time to learn all the basics of fire safety as well. Read the rest here. * Picture from this post on Lehman's Country Living Blog. Good people at Lehmans, check them out.
Build Your Own Greenhouse for around $140.00
 We've just recently finished (well 90%, because do you EVER really finish a project?) the greenhouse addition. We spent $100.00 to do it, but had some of the electric plastic conduit sitting around. I figure you should be able to build this for around $140.00.We've got a lot to learn about growing in the greenhouse, but I must say that we love it so far. We've had nights in the 20° range but no freezing in the greenhouse yet. We haven't supplemented any heat to it as of yet (beside the heat that escapes when we go into it from the house. Read all about the build over here. Go to page >> OldNews News Categories
