A Years Worth of Successes and Struggles: Navigating the Storms of Homesteading

Dear Rural Rookies community,

As we reflect on our homesteading journey, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and understanding. The past year has been a whirlwind of challenges and triumphs, and we’ve decided to share a candid update.

Our first year on the homestead brought more surprises than we could have anticipated. From battling unpredictable weather to learning the intricacies of managing a hobby farm, we found ourselves submerged in a sea of tasks, leaving little time for documenting our adventures on the blog.

We believe in authenticity, and the truth is, the challenges of rural living caught us off guard. Juggling the demands of gardening, raising chickens, remote work layoffs, and all the nuances of homesteading left us with little time to curate the content we envisioned for our blog. Rather than compromise the quality of our posts, we made the tough decision to put RuralRookies.com on hold until things stabilized.

As we usher in 2024, we’re excited to announce that the storm has started to settle. We’ve gained valuable insights, overcome obstacles, and are now better equipped to share our experiences with you. Our blog will resume, brimming with tales of resilience, lessons learned, and the joys of turning challenges into triumphs.

Thank you for your unwavering support and patience during this hiatus. We can’t wait to reconnect with our community, share our renewed enthusiasm, and continue growing together in the wonderful world of rural living.

Rural Rookies
