Northern Homestead is simply about urban homesteading in a cold climate (Zone 3A). Growing, raising, preserving, and preparing our own real food, along with some food for thoughts.

This 'Homemade 5 Vegetables Soup' is very yummy and easy to make. There are always some vegetables that have to go but do not really fit any recipe.
