Bluebird Hill Homestead

Bluebird Hill Homestead Cultivate the Connection www.bluebirdhillhomestead.com Bluebird Hill Homestead is the expression of every seed we have gathered along our journey so far.

Our mission is creating opportunities for people to experience a deep connection with the land, themselves, and their community. This is not simply learning ABOUT nature, farming, or sustainable living. We are providing an intimate hands-on experience, creating lasting connections through direct sensory immersion and intentional mentoring. Since becoming the stewards of this magical place in 2012,

we have launched our kids classes and summer camps, hosted several community gatherings…AND…we moved here June of 2013 and lived outside all summer. We even survived 3 off-grid winters here living in a sweet little school bus while we built our home! Over the next several years, we plan to build a fully integrated homestead and micro-farm, with a natural built home for our family, an outdoor covered classroom, permaculture gardens, and small-scale livestock. A large portion of the land will be preserved and stewarded as wild space and habitat for local wildlife. As these pieces come together, we hope to be a beloved resource for the community. We look forward to seeing you on the land soon! Check out the scoop on our website: www.bluebirdhillhomestead.com

Evening Primrose but a delicious morning snack. And isn’t it pretty covered in the early morning dew!

Today starts our final week of Summer Camp for the season so I was running up to the clay pit to fill it with water for the kids. And these were just too inviting to pass up on the way back down. Lightly sweet and juicy.

The sumac is primo right now and the forecast is for storms tonight so I spent dusk gathering enough for this year’s batch of Sumac Honey!

We’ve been sold out for a few months and the flavor is best if you can harvest before the rain washes away all the milky sap. The deepest red velvet clusters are best. Tart and lemony and the taste of August!

On our final day of Medicine Makers camp 2 weeks ago, the forecast said it’d be chilly and rainy all day. So we changed gears and planned a tea party with the kids to share with their families at Closing Circle.

My niece (Rosie in the light teal jacket) is a professional baker when she’s not helping with our Summer Camps. She took on the task of organizing 3 herbal recipes for the kids to make for the tea party:

Lavender Lemon Scones
Lemon Balm Cookies
Nettle Cake

All herbal ingredients were harvested from our gardens. They were incredible and the kids loved helping! (With thoroughly washed hands in advance of course.)

Rosie asked us, “do you think you’ll bake with the kids when I’m not here?” To which we all replied in unison, “absolutely not”. 😆 She has a very calm and organized presence in the midst of the chaos of ingredients flying everywhere.

So the tea party was a hit and we were able to watch the plant medicine skits the kids had prepared under the shelter of our gazebo…while the rain poured outside.

What a beautiful day!

The honeybees are loving these poppies that magically self-seeded from last year! We bought ONE from Nancy Graden and now we’ve got a few dozen blooming outside our kitchen window!

Plenty of time for digging in the dirt together too!

We tried a few new orienteering challenges too!

Everyone took a turn navigating with the compass and following a clue to find a bit of “treasure” hidden in the grass. The kids loved it!

For a portion of the camp days we split up into smaller groups for some activities. My daughter Maya helped the kids build some shelters together and our dog Nahko certainly enjoyed the shade.

It was a gorgeous week to start our Summer Camp season!
