The Farmer’s Lamp shares old-timey, down-to-earth, common-sense knowledge and experience. Life is often chaotic, stressful, and sometimes painful, so our goal and purpose is to be a resource, encouragement, and strength for all those seeking a more self-sustaining lifestyle.
You’ll find from scratch recipes from our kitchen, homesteading skills from gardening to poultry keeping, and old-timey wisdom from over 50 years of farm life experience and skills and knowledge handed down for generations in our family.
Why I Started The Farmer’s Lamp
In 2013, I created The Farmer’s Lamp in response to the many questions we were being asked about our lifestyle. Our passion is sharing our experience and how-to-knowledge through our website, books, videos, and articles. Our desire is to help others on their own homesteading journey.
We’ve taken up a lesson my grandfather taught me, “There’s as many ways of gettin’ a farm job done as there’s farmers. Ya gotta be willing to listen, help, and learn from ’em, even if it’s just to see what not to do.” You can read and listen to my grandparents’ stories in their own voices in our Voices of Heritage Series.
We’re humbled by the number of people who visit TFL for our recipes, gardening help, poultry-keeping experience, and homestead help! We take the responsibility for sharing accurate, helpful information with you seriously.
What to Expect on The Farmer’s Lamp
The Farmer’s Lamp is a trusted resource for anyone who wants to live a more sustainable lifestyle. You can learn how to cook from scratch, have a thriving garden and preserve the harvest, have happy, healthy poultry flocks and livestock, and live a more naturally healthy life!
- We create content for everyone. Whether you live in an urban setting or on a 110-acre farm, like us, you’ll gain helpful insights, skills, and knowledge based on experience and knowledge.
- We don’t share artificial information. We share personal experiences and knowledge from living a sustainable homestead life. No AI here!
- We receive emails and comments daily asking for information. We answer each one personally.
- If you ask a question we don’t know the answer to, we will work with you to find the answer so we can both learn and grow.
- We are not experts in every area of homestead life; no one is. We are real people learning and growing every day. We have over 50 years of experience and many generations of knowledge learned from our grandparents, who taught us to live this lifestyle. We love passing this on to you.
