Homesteading

Here, in the beautiful city of Auckland, we aim to live sustainably and in touch with the nature.
We have solar panels which we use for heating water. 9 out of 12 months our water is heated by solar energy only! We try to grow our grow our own food. In our garden we hve various fruit trees: Apples, Oranges, Peaches and Mandarin. We grow lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Chilli, Thymian, Dill, Carrots and more.

4 years ago my brother started a new exciting hobby: Beekeeping! I help out ocasonally. We make a lot of honey from the 3 Beehives we currently have. Our Family loves fishing! A couple of months ago me and my brother started spearfishing and and we have never looked back - diving is half the fun! :) .

Raising chicken

source

I am really intersted in chicken since I started raising them 3 years ago. I started out with 7 Brown Shavers (chicken breed) since they are very productive - they lay an egg every day - ha! Later other breeds were added: Susex, Buff Susex and leghorns. Then we got some ducks to mix things up a little. Long story short - We have about a hunded birds now roaming around freely in our (rather large) garden!

A bit more about myself: I play two instruments - the piano and the violin and I play in the schools orchestra.

As you can tell, homesteading is my passion! That includes healthy organic food and how to grow it; Especially topics about raising chickens, ducks and beekeeping are thing you will find in my blog.

I am excited to meet fellow homesteaders and all of you steemians from across the world!

Greetings,
@uniforce
