    You Don't NEED An Acreage

    Katie started her first homestead in a city lot, long before she acquired her 5-acre homestead, much less her current 240-acre property. For her, what it boils down to is being resourceful, and having the flexibility to learn how to be self-sustaining.

    From Dietician to Full Time Homesteader

Her passion for planting began when she started growing tomatoes in her studio apartment bathroom while living in San Francisco during shelter-in-place. Today, she gardens on 13,000 square feet of fertile land nestled in the hills of Oakland, CA (zone 10a), where she cultivates everything from native plants, vegetables, fruits, and bulbs, to medicinal and sensory plants in raised beds, grow bags, and in the ground. Her latest project, a dreamy chicken coop, is currently being constructed with chickens on the way in spring 2024.

All about honeybees

Hello
I would love to be on your podcast.

Something a little different. I have developed a rather unique beehive nest box beehive. And system of beekeeping.

Developed primarily for my own investigation of honeybees I have evolved a system like no other. Resulting in bees that are less stressed. Thus happier and healthier.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Kevin. the GARDENERSBEEHIVE guy
