FARM BOOTS - WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT?

The most expensive farm boots I purchased only lasted less than a year 😞- I found that many high-end brands their boots were hard to get on & off regardless of what money I spent & they did not last very long! I won't disparage the brands that disappointed me but I will say that a shopping trip to ALDI - provided me the best ever slip-on/slip-off Farm Boots & I did not have to spend a fortune, actually, I spent a whopping 17.99 for the boots you see below👇. My expectations for these boots are only about a year or two.... for the price - I got a good deal!  

Having a good pair of farm boots will dramatically improve my day, we don't stand still for long at Hooterville Homestead!   - My Sister Corinne purchased me boots last year from a local store for 12.00 - I still have them, though the soul is now thin & slippery - my new boots have some "Grip."   

Farm Girls - we don't need the most expensive farm boots - we just need the most comfortable & reliable! 

BEES & ALL THE POSIBILITIES!!

My spouse recently started two beehives - he plans on expanding his hives as he learns on how to care for them, especially when working them over the winter. - he is grateful he has hands on sponsors.   

Additionally, he will sell his honey using the Bee Associations processing facilities (for free) we may decide later to add our own processing facility on site, we are not leaning that way yet.

Having access to wax got me thinking - Back in Virginia I made my own candles, cosmetics, lip balm, deodorant etc... using purchased beeswax - soon I will have access to free wax & the possibilities are endless!

I have purchased two new books on how utilize our wax. - I am super excited!

Below is one of my favorite homemade deodorants using beeswax - I LOVE IT - IT WORKS! I am sharing from the original source - I use patchouli as my essential oil.

As for buying supplies for Hooterville's Apothecary Shop, securing the "right" labels" & anything else you might need - I like to use this site to buy my Bulk Apothecary jars & assorted supplies -  Apothecary Shop .  There are so many choices - so do some research!

Super excited to get our farm business up and running this year, with eggs, turkeys, ducks & more.
