Hey Y’all!

I'm Amanda, a mama of four wild things and a growing herd of animals. We just built a farmhouse on our 13 acres of countryside in North Carolina, and are on our way to transform worn out tobacco pasture into a diverse landscape of animals, veggies, orchards, and grapevines. Join me on the farming journey! Read More…

Hoping these climbing roses take off and completely cover our porch trellis one day! #davidaustinroses🌹 #countrycottagestyle #climbingroses #wildsunshine

Batman had his first teenager cock-a-doodle-doos 😍😍 what a sweet sound to balance out our duck sorrows! Sometimes I wonder if the tough parts of homesteading would seem as tough in different times. Here in NC we’ve had a bad run with COVID. Entitled people doing what they want, and the numbers are skyrocketing. We’ve cancelled our beach vacation, summer camps, visits to grandparents, and our pool shut down. I’m thankful everyday for this little hobby farm, but every time a beloved piece of summer falls through, my spirit dies a little. Keeping our heads up as best we can with small victories like rooster crows and giant blueberries.

And my kids informed me they hate lasagna yesterday, sooooo whose kids are they? #winning #quarantinelife #homesteading #rooster #wildsunshine #meadowfishfarm #wearamask😷

RIP Ugly Duckling (who was in no way ugly). We’re not sure if he choked or somehow electrocuted himself on the heat plate, but he’s gone and we’re a little heartbroken over here today. His sisters are still thriving, thankfully. I knew going into the homestead thing that there would be death, but in the end it makes us all appreciate the beauty and the wonder that these animals bring to the farm. #rip #homesteading #homesteadinglife #anconaducks #uglyduckling #dothehardstuff #wildsunshine #meadowfishfarm

I ❤️ summer lunch! 🍑 🍉 We have a single nectarine in our #permaculturegarden out back. It’s tiny and lonely, but makes me so hopeful that in a few more years we will have our own nectarines! We do have a dozen watermelon plants in the ground, so fingers crossed that we get some fresh melons later this summer! #homesteading #homestead #homesteadlife #summerlunch #growyourownfood #wildsunshine #meadowfishfarm #farmkitchen #gardening

The duck house is done and babies moved in! In a few more weeks we can turn them loose to free range and use the big pond, but for now they’re hanging out in this mini duck palace. 🐥 #duckcoop #duckhouse #minifarm #homesteading #homesteadmamas #wildsunshine #meadowfishfarm
