Learn how to freeze blueberries- this is, hands down, the easiest way to freeze blueberries!

Since we don't live on our own farm yet, going to a you pick place is the best alternative. Much cheaper prices and you can pick as many as you want. Our goal this year is to pick and freeze enough for the whole year (about 5 lbs a month), plus have lots of fresh berries. So we will try to pick 60 lbs to freeze then more to eat fresh. Whoa that is a lot. We will have to go a few times to get them all.

The cheapest frozen blueberries I've found are from Costco at $3.33 a pound. We can pick them ourselves for $1.50 a pound, saving us $1.83/lb which comes out to about $110 a year. And that is just the frozen stuff. We will pick much more for pies too. Plus, fun memories and pride in our food.

You don't necessarily need a homestead to homestead. You can find other alternatives to create your homesteading dream. Some days I'm thankful we don't have a farm yet. I can't imagine taking care of land, animals, preserving food, church planting, and running my business (aka this blog) with a toddler and a baby. There are so many people that do, we just can't be stretched that thin. I know my limitations.
