The Wildflower Farm Pot Rack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

One of the most important parts of farming and homesteading is organization. This pot rack ran us $110. It\u2019s a bit of a DIY.  These three wooden bars are antique horse yolks. We hung them  on the  wall then just  popped \u2019em full of hooks. Now we hang our pots there. I bought the yolks on Etsy, and Dr. Farmer Moomin, did a wonderful job getting them  set up for our Mauviel, copper pots, as well as for our cast iron.<\/p>\r\n

I like to re-purpose. It is part and parcel of this lifestyle. Old rail road spikes, check, cut down used as pulls for kitchen drawers and cabinets.  An old horse drawn sled, now a beautiful coffee table in the library\u2026. Old horse yolks, become a pot rack\u2026. I love to give old things a new chance to shine  filling a different role than the one they remember from their previously lives as whatever they were created to be and do.<\/p>\r\n

One thing I have learned about farming and homesteading is the importance of organization. I keep a tub of stuff I use to make soap and other body products in the crawl space, along side my tub of things I use to create natural home cleaning products, which I then use in my home. For some cleaning supplies it saves time to just order Caldrea products\u2026. I keep a carefully managed collection of binders. One on animals and their health and everything to do with them. I keep the same for myself and my husband. Important documents go in there etc\u2026. And I keep a house binder so I  can keep track of everything home and yard related. I want to be sure at all times, no matter what happens to me, anyone could come in, pick up the binders, and find they have no trouble running everything here. I keep an organized pantry of jars\u2026.. There is no end to the need for organization. In fact, a farm with none is not a healthy farm. You need to know when you last wormed, when to get the dogs new dog licenses, who comes into heat when\u2026. And so much more.<\/p>\r\n

Farmers, we feed, we garden and most importantly we organize. It is the only method by which farms can grow and stay fully active and healthy. But it is a skill that takes a lot to learn and to become adept at. Without organization, everything falls apart  on a farm. With living things you are responsible for it is simply untenable for their sakes to be disorganized!<\/p>\r\n

So that is my thought for the week. I had it a few minutes ago smiling at my beautiful pot rack.
