Barn Hop 68


Welcome to the Monday Homestead Barn Hop where youre invited to link up your blog with your very best post of the week; something happening at your homestead or something of interest that will help benefit fellow homesteaders. Plus, each of the 3 Homestead Barn Hop hostess selects her favorite post of the week to highlight the following week. So be sure to visit all three blogs because the "Featured Homestead" could be YOURS!


Janie at The Hedge Combers had a very interesting post this week... meal worms. Yes, you really can be a homesteader and raise your own worms! No seriously... theyre for the "girls"; you know... the chickens?

I actually have some meal worms Im raising, but I really have no clue what Im doing. Janie seems to have a handle on things. In fact, Id say shes nearly a pro! If she were my neighbor, Id start bartering for worms... quick as a wink! Or Id have her mentor me in the fine art of meal worms.



I just want to know how does she get the worms separated for the chickens to eat? Janie, if youre reading this... Id love a follow up post with even more. Truly, I think this is fascinating and I would love to have a self-sustaining form of protein for my layers.

For all you teenage boys out there... are you reading this? Seriously. You could start a small business and fund your way through college. Many a suburban chicken farmer would be interested in this sort of food for their hens.


If youve been featured in the past...


If youve been a featured blogger on the Barn Hop, either today or in the past, we now have a special button for you should you wish to add it to your sidebar stating that youve been a featured blogger! You can find it on my button page by clicking the hen with the blue barn on my sidebar that says "HR Buttons". Its a good idea to link it back to the page where you were featured so your readers can see where youre actually mentioned. (These buttons do not have a code since it needs to be linked to the page youre featured in and it will change from week to week. Just copy the button or drag it to your desktop).

Did you share any cool new homesteading tips on your blog this week? If so, we’d love to have you link up below! Even if you don’t have a blog, we always welcome your comments!

Please remember that the Homestead Barn Hop is meant to be a place to share homesteading related encouragement and inspiring ideas specfically related to homesteading. In an effort to keep our weekly round-up clutter free, links which are not specifically homestead related, and any promotions such as giveaways, contests, carnivals, etc, will be deleted in order to maintain the integrity of the Barn Hop. Please remember this is a family friendly link up. Any pictures or posts linked to the hop which aren’t appropriate for our children to view or read will also be deleted immediately. We’re pretty conservative, so we ask that you use good judgment and err on the side of caution. 

Make sure that you link to your Barn Hop post, not your blog’s main page, so your guests won’t have any trouble finding your great tips!

We would also appreciate it if you would link back to the Homestead Barn Hop in the post that you share! Feel free to grab the banner at the top of this post to link back to us with.

Want a chance to be a “Featured Homestead” next week?

Be sure youve included an actual link to the Barn Hop, preferably the button, on your post or sidebar, with a link back to us. Thank you for sharing the message about the Homestead Barn Hop!

Occasionally there is a problem posting due to glitches in the internet or the Linky Tools. If you have difficulties posting and it does not show up immediately, please wait a little while and try re-posting (this helps avoid double posting). Were sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, be we do not have absolute control over the internet. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
