Monthly Challenges

Join 1 or join them all!

Cutting Out Microplastics

Plastic is in everything; disguised as polyester, nylon, acrylics, spandex, and microfiber, to name a few. It might seem impossible to avoid, but it CAN be done. Detox your stuff, one month at a time.

Prepping Supplies

Emergencies happen all the time: power outages, trees falling on your house, etc. Don’t prepare for the apocalypse, prepare for real-life emergencies. By the end of one year, you’ll be ready for almost anything!

Support Your Local Food System

If you are health conscious at all, you’ve probably read ingredient labels on the food you purchase at chain grocery stores. It’s like a scavenger hunt to find products that are only halfway decent, health-wise. Instead, ditch the large chains and support your local food system. It’s healthier for your body and your community!

Build Your Own Home Apothecary

Pharmacies don’t have your best interest at heart. Big pharma is ultimately in it for the money and does not care about your health or well-being. Let’s venture back in time when we used God’s medicine to heal us (think herbs, produce, etc.) and start building your very own Home Apothecary.

Start Your Homestead

Are you interested in DIY projects? Do you want to grow your own food, raise animals, can, sew, collect your own water, or some combination of these and more? Maybe you have no idea where to start and feel overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge? Let’s take one small step each month and introduce something new into our homestead at an achievable pace. 

“If America could be, once again, a nationof self-reliant farmers, craftsmen, hunters, ranchers and artists, then the rich would have little power to dominate others. Neither to serve nor to rule. That was the American Dream.”

– Edward Abbey

People and life are equally messy, and mistakes are inevitable. We seek to correct mistakes as they are found and never intend to mislead. This website is a living document that will be forever changing. The information will be as accurate as possible in that specific moment. We ask for understanding and kindness, as our intent is to inform and help, and never to deceive.
