Homesteading NZ with the blind knitter. 3 Herb and spice mixes ready for Xmas 🎄
Hi I am a legally blind woman who is passionate about Homesteading, sustainability, cooking from scratch, crafts, mental health and managing disabilities. I have a guide dog Kenzie who helps. Homesteading is one way that I can be true to my value system and I'd love to share my love of it, and tips that I've learnt along the way, with you. I've been a social worker for over 34 years. I am a mother and grandmother, and my partner is a farmer. I'd love to share my years of experience with you.

    Hi Donna. Greetings from Swampscott, Massachusetts. I love these new homesteading videos. Can't tell you how much I admire what you're doing, especially how far back you go in cultivating sustainability and no waste. Hats off to you! Line your mental health suggestions and examples that are so timely and so helpful. I'm sharing these videos with friends. Some of them I know have never hung out a wash in their lives. But that's OK. They can still get the idea that ordinary, every day tasks can have a very beneficial effect upon us and that we should find more ways of incorporating them into our lives. Thanks for taking such good care of us all.😊
