Collecting spring water is fun and easy

We are so blessed to live in a place that has an abundance of clean fresh water to drink. There are so many places close by that we can go to and fill up our water jugs.

The spring we go to in particular has a few benefits;

  • It’s close to my husbands work
  • It never runs dry
  • There are rarely other people there
  • It has a shelter
  • I grew up getting my water from this spring so it makes me happy!

How to start collecting fresh spring water

Ask people who have lived in your area for a long time if they know of a spring that you can go to. You would be surprised how many there are if you live in an area that has underground springs running through.

You can use whatever jugs you want to collect your water. Just make sure you can carry it once it’s full!

Don’t be afraid that the water is unsafe. Natural spring water that is set up for people to collect from (like the one I use) is normally tested by the municipality and is deemed safe.

If there is a sign up that says “use at your own risk” then all you need to do is test the water to ensure it’s safety.

You can test the water a few different ways;

  • Take it to a water testing facility
  • Buy a water testing kit and test it yourself
  • Use a filtration system at home for peace of mind

Collecting spring water is a very special thing to us and we are so thankful for it. It’s easy and safe and tastes so good!

Happy collecting!

This podcast is a practical tool for your homesteading toolbelt. Each episode walks through the real numbers, systems, and decisions behind building a working homestead — not the aesthetic version, the functional one. We break down cost analyses, infrastructure planning, off-grid setups, livestock math, garden yields, land considerations, and whether an idea actually makes financial and logistical sense for your life.

If you’ve ever wondered “Could we really do this?” — this is where we run the numbers and find out. No hype. No fantasy. Just clear thinking, grounded strategy, and honest evaluation so you can build something stable, sustainable, and strong for your family.

How To Set Up Your First Raised Bed Garden & Succeed Year ONE Ep.11
byMicheon Hutchings

If you’ve been wanting to start a vegetable garden but feel overwhelmed by where to begin, what to plant, or how to make it work, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how to set up your first raised bed vegetable garden in a way that is simple, realistic, and built for success in your very first year.

This isn’t about building a massive garden or trying to grow everything all at once. It’s about creating a system you can actually manage, maintain, and harvest from consistently without burning out halfway through the season.

I break down the exact raised bed sizes I recommend, how many beds you should realistically start with, and how to set them up so they’re efficient and easy to work in. We talk about soil in a way that makes sense for beginners, including what matters, what doesn’t, and how to avoid wasting money on unnecessary inputs.

I also walk through what crops you should focus on in year one if your goal is success, confidence, and food on your table, not frustration and failure.

You’ll learn why most beginner gardens don’t make it past mid-summer, the common mistakes that quietly ruin momentum, and how to avoid them by simplifying your approach from the start.

This episode is built around real-life gardening, not picture-perfect plans, and is designed for busy people, families, and anyone trying to build a more self-sufficient lifestyle without overcomplicating it.

Whether you’re starting on a homestead, in a backyard, or even just a small space, this gives you a clear path forward so you can actually follow through and see results. By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to start, what to focus on, and how to build a raised bed garden that works with your life, not against it, so that your first year is not just a learning experience, but a successful one!
