My Visit To Deep South Homestead
Visiting Deep South Homestead
The most precious gift you can give another is your time, Friday I was Blessed. I arrived early and was met by Wanda and a chicken who had escaped earlier, tempting me to add chicken to the list of things I wanted to take with me. Danny arrived in moments and greeted me with a big hug. They offered a tour of the place I see almost every day on YouTube, I felt like I was with friends I’ve known for years, we hoped in Wanda’s Kubota. It’s awesome, metal with the ability to dump stuff easily from the back, ( I Love it and will be looking for one too) am very partial to Kubota, I think it was a 2014 model, could be wrong about model, anyway. Wanda picked us a handful of raspberries and I tasted a Kumquat, which is another tree I now must add to my land, it’s delicious. I got to walk all around and take in the actual size of the cabin, I could imagine relaxing and sitting there reading her cookbook from the 1930’s, it’s perfect with a view out the window, the fireplace to warm you on a cold day, on my list to build, ( pay-as-I-go debt free, probably will take me 7 years to accomplish ). The barn with the rabbits, y’all those mama rabbits are way bigger in person. Am use to seeing the size of their male rabbits at pet shop and from a distance eating my garden, didn’t realize how big rabbits really get. The high tunnels are 16 feet wide with plenty of space between the rows, actually being there in person is so much different for me. I got multiplying onions, aloe and peppercorn plants and a shrimp plant too, sugarcane and mysterious squash seed with red ripper peas seed. Watching YouTube am amazed at how homesteader get so much done with their property. Friday, so many things filled my mind, time went by so quickly for me, there was so much to take in, what I thought would be a quick visit tuned into a 3 hour tour, now that I have walked and seen in person the homestead, I can see how I can accomplish my dream on my 7 acres of bottomland. I only took a few photo because I wanted to be totally in the moment, it was so much to see and I was having an amazing time. Deep South Homestead is 30 minutes from the coast, it’s some beautiful country, I have to make another trip to take photos this time was just for some wonderful memories, present in the moment.

Connecting with people who enjoy Homesteading is always a pleasure, getting to see how they have their homesteads set up, gives me ideals on ways I would like to add to my place. This is the perfect weather in Mississippi to be planting, I was blessed to get a trunk load of purple sugarcane going into the ground today. The peppercorn is doing wonderful so am extremely happy to have both plants and more to grow on my little homestead.

What a great experience! Learning from those who are already doing what I want to learn is my favorite thing to do these days. I’m thankful we can learn from each other via these social platforms, but in real life is SO rewarding.

I was surprised by how friendly and helpful the community is, Freesteading has open so many connections for me, to a lot of like minded people who don’t mind helping anyway they can. Can’t wait for when the market opens, am looking forward to it very much. I’d tried catching Deepsouth Homestead on Esty so many times, being able to stop by and get plants was wonderful. I now have the plants I’ve wanted for over 2 years growing on my land. That brings a big smile to my heart.

They really are so helpful. I’ve learned so much this year alone. I understand your excitement. Expanded from a few plants in pots on the patio to a 33’ x 16’ garden this year. Grew things I had never even eaten let alone grow. Barely left myself room to get through it. 😂 I told my other half my goal is to expand gardens until we have no use for the lawnmower. Can’t wait to tap the maples on our property in the spring and as soon as I get the green light on getting chickens, watch out! 😂
