I really enjoy Carolyn’s recipes and the helpful tips and hints for the seasonal harvest. I'm grateful for the how-to for what I can do with my seasonal harvest. I love that the information I'm getting is from someone who actually uses those methods regularly so they have hands on experience and can help me troubleshoot if needed. - Kim Koepke

 I am really excited to take advantage of all the recipes. Strawberry Jam is a personal favorite, but now I can make it with very low or no sugar. A quart of strawberries at the local grocery stores are around $3.99, but I go to the produce stands that are at the fields and buy after the Strawberry festival in March when the produce stand berries are cheapest to buy by the flat. This will be the first big pantry project of the year. – Sue Fodor


I'm really loving how informative the magazine is on the specific topics featured, and the recipes are wonderful. - Susy



Meet Homesteading Family

We’re Carolyn and Josh Thomas! We live on 40 acres in Idaho with our 11 children where we grow, preserve, and prepare most of our own food right on our property. 

As young parents with a quickly growing family and a desire to feed them healthy, whole foods (even on a tight budget) we knew very quickly that we were going to have to figure out how to grow and cook it ourselves... good food was just too expensive!

But we didn’t have anyone around us that we could ask about how to make this homesteading thing work. We felt completely alone and scrambling for answers while dealing with the demands of life.

We didn’t want others to have to go through the same struggles we experienced, so we created Homesteading Family.

As the years have passed we have had an opportunity to speak into the lives of more and more families… And while we are so blessed to get to help others, we also know that this is just the beginning… and now it is time to take the next step.

My hope is that this Summer Recipe Anthology becomes a timeworn staple in your kitchen that gets pulled off the shelf of your kitchen each year at preserving time. Maybe it will have your handwritten notes in the margin - little tweaks that have made it your own.

50 years from now, I hope your kids or grandkids or nieces or nephews are pulling it off their own kitchen shelf or from its cherished spot on the coffee table and telling stories of spending time in the kitchen with you as they make these recipes with their own families. 

It’s a great joy to share these cherished recipes from my kitchen to yours.
