Daily Homestead Routine - Homesteading By Myself With A Full Time Job
If you're new here, my name is Sage, and I'm starting a homestead in North Carolina using regenerative agricultural practices. Follow along on my journey to transform these 3 acres into my homestead. Looking for more content? Check out my Instagram (@terra.nova.acres)
Enjoying the videos and want to support the homestead? Visit www.buymeacoffee.com/terranova to buy me a "cup of coffee". All contributions go toward the homestead in some way. The current goal is to raise enough money to get sheep. Please only contribute what you can and know there are ZERO EXPECTATIONS! I love sharing my homestead journey with you all.

The daily routine looks different each season, but right now it goes something like this: Wake up, feed the pets, bottle feed the lambs, feed the turkeys and chickens, harvest veggies from the garden before the heat of the day sets in. Feed myself, clock in, and work my daily shift from home. Clock out, harvest eggs, and tackle a couple homestead improvement projects (restock feed, start seeds, plant the garden, repair fencing, clear brush, whatever needs to get done). After that, I feed the lambs again, feed the pets again, and feed myself again. Once the sun goes down, I try to rest (both my mind and my body) and unwind. Homesteading is hard work, and no matter how much you get done in a day, there will always be more to work on. Homesteading with a full time job and/or by yourself is harder work, but if it's a lifestyle you genuinely want to pursue, it is absolutely feasible.

I'm a young girl who stumbled on your channel while researching about homesteading. When I start, I will be alone, so I thought it would be near impossible. However after finding your channel I'm more determined and less nervous about diving deeper into the world of homesteading!

You can totally do it! People will probably be nervous for you, and it might make you question yourself a bit, but you are more than capable. Just make sure to set realistic goals for what you want to get done each year instead of trying to do it all at once. THAT'S when it gets to be too much.
Your videos motivate me more than I can even say. I’ve been terrified at the prospect of homesteading alone and watching you do it amidst the grief and transitions in your life, it gives me courage. Thank you.
Your dog roaming around brings a smile to my face, what a great companion :) those little lambs are SO cute! And the ending with the fire and watching the night sky was a real treat for those of us used to living in the city and everything being too bright and noisy for such peace. Thanks for sharing this!
I got a kick out of your dog watching you plant those plants, as if to say "Hey!, I could dig those holes for you".

Whenever I'm pulling weeds or planting, he waits and watches for me to throw grass clumps. For whatever reason, he loves it.
Great video! Respectfully, your movements are strong and purposeful yet retain femininity - you being the best version of yourself. Good job.
I am impressed you are able to juggle all your activities and make it work by yourself! Your "pasture plug planting" technique is genius!
Hey Sage, you got it going on!
Thanks
Such a cool video! Your videography and homestead have come a long way in a short amount of time. Congrats on everything you have accomplished!

This was a great video, Sage, thank you for sharing this with us!!! Was it as time consuming as you’d thought it would be? I bet it was with all the filming and editing!! You’re living a very busy but very fulfilling life. You continue to be an inspiration to me. Be well!! ❤

It did take a while, probably 8+ hours when it's all said and done. Thank you for requesting it though because this is now one of my favorite videos. I probably would not have tried to tackle a video like this for a while if you hadn't asked for it. Good things take time!

You’re very right!! I hope this video gets as many views as it deserves!!! I think people love to see “day in a life” videos, especially with homesteading! It’s peaceful to watch with the music you chose and the camera angles. Amazing job, you’re a natural at this! I have faith your channel will continue to grow and hopefully you’ll see some additional income for all your hard work!! ❤❤
Lovely day in the life, thanks for sharing!

You can trim the feathers on their wings. As long as you don't cut them too short, it doesn't hurt them, it's just like us getting a haircut. Look up "clipping chicken wings".
