Little House in Summer -- Homesteading is Hard + We're Still At It

It's high summer at the Little House and the kids are still excited about their tree house. But this off grid homestead life keeps teaching us that there's no such thing as quick and easy.
** The chickens shown are Cornish Cross at about 40 days. The garden produce shown includes Marketmore 76 cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, and a California wonder bell pepper.
Enjoy!

About the Fouch Family: We are Nick and Esther, and our three kids Milo, Stella, and Sadie. We have lived off the grid -- in the sense of not connected to the power grid -- for five years on three acres of wooded land in Southwestern Idaho.
Nick is a finish carpenter working on building his own business. Esther is a writer, the author of a recent memoir called "What Falls From the Sky," and a daughter of the homesteading teacher and activist Carla Emery, who wrote "The Encyclopedia of Country Living." Nick and Esther were both raised in Idaho, near where we live now, but we've also lived in Massachusetts, Utah, and California. Our kids are ages 10, 9 and 5.
