Sharing Homesteading! L'chaim! Pura Vida!

Sharing Homesteading

This time of the year our egg basket is overflowing and we found this info helpful to preserve eggs. 
Deu 28:1-2  “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands which I command you today, that יהוה your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth. “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim:
      Deu 28:5  “Blessed is your basket and your kneading bowl.
Also we inherited Iron Cast Pots and Pans from the owners of the farm. We are learning much about how to care for them and make them non stick. We will share two links below.

 We have been blessed by being able to live the Homestead life. Abba YHWH has provided from the bread and fruit from the earth as we continue to learn and see what is the best method of growth and the climate of South Costa Rica. We had ups and downs as we saw many seeds go from sprout to compost while others are doing great or better than expected during the rainy season. Egg production slows down as the chickens stay under the houses most of the day and can not graze. We learned not to give them much of the concentrated feeds sold at the Agricultural feed supplies. We started feeding plain corn and supplement with egg shells and scraps. We have less compost but healthier chickens.

We would like you to be here and experience the blessing of L'chaim which the locals call "Pura Vida". Nuestra casa es su casa!. If you would like to come and spend some days here with us please just send us a comment and we can plan.


Shalom from the Montanez mispacha in South Costa Rica.
